Memorable Quotes from "Spare"
-
"Grief changed everything. I struggled at school, struggled with anger, with loneliness—and, because I blamed the press for my mother’s death, I struggled to accept life in the spotlight."
- Translation (Sinhala): "ශෝකය සෑම දේම වෙනස් කළා. මම පාසලේ වියරු වුනා, කුමන්ත්රණයට, තනිකමට—ඉන්පසු මාගේ මවගේ මරණයට මාධ්යය වගකිව යුතුයි කියා මම චෝදනා කළේ නිසා, ප්රකට ජීවිතයට මම පිළිගැනීමට අපහසු වුණා."
- Translation (Tamil): "சோகம் அனைத்தையும் மாற்றியது. பள்ளியில் படிக்க முடியாமல், கோபத்துடன், தனிமையுடன் போராடினேன்—என் தாயின் மரணத்திற்கு ஊடகங்களை குறை சொன்னதால், பிரபல வாழ்க்கையை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள போராடினேன்."
- "For Harry, this is that story at last."
- "The discipline gave him structure, and two combat tours made him a hero at home."
- "Above all, he couldn’t find true love. Then he met Meghan."
- "The mix of dirty laundry and earnest soul-baring sometimes jars, but Harry’s frustrations are deeply felt and authentically conveyed."
- "Harry’s journey is full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief."
