Thousand Autumns Quotes

“Everyone holds evil thoughts inside their hearts; the difference lies in whether or not they act on it. Why castigate them for being human?”
― Meng Xi Shi, Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel) Vol. 1

“There are many people in this world — some of
them are good, and some of them are bad. But
there are even more who can't be simply classified
as 'good' or 'bad'. They may not think in the same
way you think, or walk the same path you walk. Just
like the case with Yu Ai and Yuan Ying - even the
same set of sword arts looks slightly different in
different people's hands. Don't deny others just
because they are different from you. Like how the
ocean is capable of holding water from thousands of
rivers, a person should be forgiving and tolerant to
diversity, and it is the same for practicing martial
arts. People who are narrow-minded can only
achieve so much. Even if they do reach the summit,
they cannot stay there for long.”
― Meng Xi Shi, 千秋 [Qian Qiu]

“When it comes to worth, every heart weighs it differently. Grudges have a source, and debts a debtor, but involving innocent people should never be commended. When you don’t save the people you could have, when you don’t take action when you could have, a shadow lodges in your heart forever. Whether other people know about it― whether they’ll feel grateful― that’s their business”
― Meng Xi Shi, Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel), Vol. 1

“But this flower was good-natured, always tenderhearted and compassionate. That’s why it met with trouble after trouble.

― Meng Xi Shi, Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel) Vol. 1

“The flowers have already bloomed to their most beautiful and luxuriant form; if they bloom even longer, they will only start withering away. Sending them off on their journey now will leave their most perfect image imprinted in your heart. Isn’t that a good thing?” His five fingers closed into a fist, and the piece of fallen leaf in his hand was immediately pulverized into a fine powder, rustling as it fell from his fingers. “In this world, if one cannot live vigorously and freely in accordance to their own desires and inclinations, then what is the point? Humans are not that different from flowers.”
― meng xi shi, 千秋 [Qian Qiu]

“Some people were unaware of the evil in the world and gave their kindness indiscriminately. In the end, all it did was exhaust them and others both.

And yet past dreams sought, people departed, what has passed will never return.

Just like some errors have no way of being remedied, some cracks will forever persist, and death, impossible to wake from.”
― Meng Xi Shi, 千秋 [Qian Qiu]

“You all regard me as a tiger trapped in a flat field whom anyone can bully and thus treat me however you want, as if I'm just a fly in a web. If this is the case, how can I not pull myself together? Even if I don't become the oppressor, at least I shouldn't let myself be oppressed by others!”
― Meng Xi Shi, 千秋 [Qian Qiu]
