Memorable Quotes from "The Body Keeps the Score"

• "Trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, body, and brain."
• Translation (Sinhala): "ට්රෝමාව යනු පසුගිය කාලයේ සිදු වූ සිදුවීමක් පමණක් නොව, එම අත්දැකීම මනස, ශරීරය සහ මොළයේ තැපැල් කලාපයයි."
• Translation (Tamil): "துன்பம் என்பது கடந்த காலத்தில் நடந்த ஒரு நிகழ்வாக மட்டுமல்ல; அது அந்த அனுபவம் மனதில், உடலில், மற்றும் மூளையில் உண்டாக்கிய முத்திரையாகும்."
• "The body keeps the score, and it always wins."
