"Ich denke, dass man in der Kunst seine primitiven Gefühle in etwas überführen muss, dass eine klare Sprache spricht, so dass die Geschichte einer anderen Person mitgeteilt werden kann. Sicherlich kann man niemand zwingen, auf die gleiche Art zu denken oder zu fühlen, aber man hat eine Verantwortung sicherzustellen, dass die Sprache klar ist."

Ai WeiWei - Künstler.

I think the beauty of life is to discover who we are and why we are here. It’s almost like a religious question. But we cannot avoid answering this question because we are only born once. And it’s going to be over when we die. So, if by that time we don’t know and are not celebrating our life—we do not protect the integrity of life—it is wasted. It’s abandoned. We could still make money and eat well and drink beer and celebrate—but there is no spirit there, and no integrity there—thus you cannot convince anybody. It comes from consciousness; the consciousness always comes from practice by yourself. Nobody could teach you about consciousness. So, if you are not aware of the meaning of life, you are abandoned. Sorry, that’s the fact."
