Crazy Rich Asians Quotes
- You know how notorious those Taiwanese girls can be. They swoop in unexpectedly, the men fall head over heels, and before you know it they are gone, but not before sucking up every last dollar, just like a tornado. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- Daughter, I know men like Nick. He can act the bohemian scholar all he wants, but I know deep down he is the marrying kind. He wants to settle down and have many children, so there is no more time to waste. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- For most men, all that talk of “being in love” or “finding the right one” was absolute nonsense. Marriage was purely a matter of timing, and whenever a man was finally done sowing his wild oats and ready to settle down, whichever girl happened to be there at the time would be the right one. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- You are judging the situation with your American eyes. You have to look at this the Chinese way. In Asia, there is a proper time for everything, a proper etiquette. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- Welcome to Singapore, Rachel – where arguing about food is the national pastime. This is probably the only country in the world where grown men can get into fistfights over which specific food stall in some godforsaken shopping center has the best rendition of some obscure fried noodle dish. It’s like a pissing contest! – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- Every man cheats. This is Asia. Every guy has mistresses, girlfriends, flings on the side. It’s a normal thing. A status thing. Get used to it. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- Remember, this is Asia, and first impressions can be deceiving. You know how most Asians hoard their money. The rich are even more extreme. Many of the wealthiest people here make an effort not to stand out, and most of the time, you would never know you were standing next to a billionaire. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- Never forget we are Hainanese, son. We are the descendants of servants and seamen. We always have to work harder to prove our worth. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- I’m telling you, this so-called ‘prosperity’ is going to be the downfall of Asia. Each new generation becomes lazier than the next. They think they can make overnight fortunes just by flipping properties and getting hot tips in the stock market. Ha! Nothing lasts forever, and when this boom ends, these youngsters won’t know what hit them. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- I moved to Sydney not to work. It’s far too beautiful a place for work. You get distracted by the weather and the sea, the long walks and the good fishing. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- There was something about Hong Kong’s central district during the day, a special frenetic energy from the hustling and bustling crowd […]. Bankers in smart pinstripes walked shoulder to shoulder with dusty day laborers and teenagers in school uniforms, while chicly outfitted corporate women in don’t-mess-with-me heels melded seamlessly with wizened old amahs and half-clothed street beggars. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- I’m sorry, but I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough of being around all these crazy rich Asians, all these people whose lives revolve around making money, spending money, flaunting money, comparing money, hiding money, controlling others with money, and ruining their lives over money. And if I marry you, there will be no escaping it, even if we live on the other side of the world. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- A funny thing happens when men truly get a taste of freedom, especially when they’re accustomed to married life. They begin to crave that domestic bliss again. They want to re-create it. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- Why do we Chinese never learn? Every time we get mixed up with the West, everything falls apart. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
- Let me share a secret with you, Nick. As much as a girl might protest, you can never go wrong buying her a designer dress or a killer pair of shoes. – Quote from Crazy Rich Asians book by Kevin Kwan
