Mu Xin - From the Advice category:
Thomas Hardy once advised us to record impressions more and to express ideas less. Now and then I would remember this advice. (Mu Xin)
Mu Xin - From the Art category:
What is art in the final analysis? Art is the shining forth of one's interiority. (Mu Xin)
Mu Xin - From the Culture category:

Mu Xin - From the Freedom category:
- artist/writer imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution in China...
By day I was a slave; by night, I was a prince. (Mu Xin)
Mu Xin - From the Ideas category:
'Ideas' can be only in the distant background of a work of art, something like a very low horizon. In the middle distance and foreground... there shouldn't be any 'ideas' visible. (Mu Xin)
Mu Xin - From the Impressionism category:
Impressions are like pearls; ideas are like the string that turns the pearls into a necklace. The string is invisible, but it is not dispensable and cannot be broken. (Mu Xin)
Mu Xin - From the Journey category:
If you ask me why I left China, it's just that I went for a stroll and strolled too far away. (Mu Xin)
Mu Xin - From the Life category:
I feel that it would be tedious for a person to have only one life. It would be much better to have two or three lives going on simultaneously... (Mu Xin)
Mu Xin - From the Opposites category:
Did you ever find that there is room between the two opposing rules of a paradox? That space between two almost opposite rules is the ground where I play and write. (Mu Xin)
Mu Xin - From the Windows category:
Prose is like a window; fiction is like a door. But it is not uncommon that he who should come in through the door jumps in through the window. (Mu Xin)
