Qian Qiu Quotes

“Everyone has evil intentions in their minds. The only difference is executing it or not. There's no need to criticize them so harshly.”
― Meng Xi Shi, 千秋 [Qian Qiu]

“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]

“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]
