Memorable Quotes from Eleven Minutes

"When you are in love, you must be happy with the love you receive. It may not be the one you wanted, but it is the one you need."

Translation (Sinhala): "ඔබ ආදරේ පත්ව සිටියදී, ඔබ ලබාගන්නා ආදරය සමඟ සතුටු විය යුතුය. එය ඔබට අවශ්‍ය ආදරය වශයෙන් නොව, ඔබට අවශ්‍ය ආදරය වන්නේ එයය."

Translation (Tamil): "நீங்கள் காதலின் ஊடே இருக்கும்போது, நீங்கள் பெற்ற காதலுடன் மகிழ்ச்சி அடைய வேண்டும். அது நீங்கள் விரும்பிய காதல் இல்லாவிட்டாலும், அது நீங்கள் தேவைப்படும் காதல்."

"The most important thing in life is to live your life with love."

"Love is a terrible thing. It makes you suffer and it makes you do things you would never imagine you’d do."
