"Without wearing the red scarf, I was alone from the others but it allowed me to experience both the warmth and coldness of people. I began to observe and think about human nature early on."
— Zeng Fanzhi, quoted in "曾梵志的心中丘壑", Sotheby's, 10 March 2014
「沒戴上紅領巾，形單隻影倒讓我體驗到人情冷暖，早早就開始觀察和思考人性了。」
— 曾梵志，〈曾梵志的心中丘壑〉，蘇富比，2014年3月10日
