在当代艺术中，我们需要更少的奇观和更多的实质。
We need less spectacle and more substance in contemporary art.
天地没有偏爱，视万物如草扎的狗；圣人没有偏爱，视百姓如草扎的狗。（引自《道德经》，萧鼎在《诛仙》中化用）
注释：恭敬、节俭、谦逊、守礼，这样才能自我坚守。深谋远虑，这样才能避免困厄。亲近仁德之士、结交正直之人，这样才能在危难时得到帮助。
A nation without memory is a nation without a future.
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.
