Top 10 Meng Jin Quotes (2025 Update)

Meng Jin Quote: “I know you think of me as this bright, talented person, a person who will no doubt become something. I think you’re wrong. I’m ambitious, yes, that much is true. But my ambition runs backward, not toward anything but away. In fact, whenever I’ve tried to become something, I’ve failed, because I’ve only really ever managed to care about what I’m not.”

Meng Jin Quote: “I never stopped loving my mother. Not exactly. A little pin fell out of the contraption of my love for her; bit by bit it fell apart, until one day I discovered she was my enemy. I never ceased to feel strongly – strongest – about her. Even long after the strength of emotion was no longer adoring, my mother retained an ability to extract, with a word, a glance, a simple tone of voice, the well of everything irrational inside me.”

Meng Jin Quote: “A hunger for revolution, any Great Revolution, whatever it stands for, so long as where you stand is behind its angry fist. Little gods, she things. Desperate to turn their own growing bodies, their own aches and despairs, into material that might reset the axes of worlds. What did it boil down to but children, giddy with breaking rules!”

Meng Jin Quote: “Truthfully, I convinced myself, I struggled with the lot I had been given: the burden of having more than those around me, of having more than I deserved. That was why I worked so hard; that was why I had once obsessed over checking and rechecking answers I knew were right: I wanted to toil, to earn with my own sweat whatever I got.”

Meng Jin Quote: “I thought the holy writings were interesting, clever, sometimes even beautiful, but they also seemed clearly to be invented, invented and put into words by someone who was very smart and perhaps a little sly. The most convincing things they spoke of, which regarded the way we ought to move through life, seemed to have little to do with my mother’s superstitions and the daily offerings of incense and expensive foods.”

Meng Jin Quote: “Su Lan had a way of making you want to tell her everything. She was not only disarming – she asked as if she understood you perfectly, as if, once you opened the doors, she would be able to walk into your soul, treading gently, and know you only as you knew yourself.”

Meng Jin Quote: “Lanlan’s most distinctive, seductive quality was her ability to make you forget every question. Her presence was so exhilarating – sound, smell, taste, disturbance of air of her – that she erased the need for history. She erased even the need for the present. Her beauty was a promise, and so when you were with her it was the future that lit up, materializing endless possibilities and roads, like the network of neurons and synapses in some god’s brain.”

Meng Jin Quote: “In Chinese, I realized, verbs don’t change based on past or present tense. Instead you added a marker to the sentence indicating when an action occurred relative to the moment of speech, and this indication was more akin to an indication of space than of time. So instead of before and after, things happened in front of you and behind you, up the stream and down the stream.”

Meng Jin Quote: “It must be so terrible to see through everything like you do. It’s a form of blindness, you know. It gives you an excuse to do nothing while feeling superior, when really it’s just selfish, which is another way of saying stupid, lazy, everything you say you hate.”

Meng Jin Quote: “Academia was too stiff, she said, too invested in its own accolades, too worshipful of tradition. Especially in science, which was supposed to be a revolutionary field, all ambition had been drained; the only new ideas that could be accepted were specialized to the point of losing significance. What she was offering would be a paradigm shift, it would require entire textbooks to be rewritten. They were not ready for it, they would see their mistake in ten, twenty, fifty years.”

Meng Jin Quote: “I still enjoy it, being a terror. It’s better than being pathetic. It almost resembles a reason to live.”
