Memorable Quotes from Not Nice

• "Being nice is not the same as being kind. Kindness comes from strength; niceness comes from fear."

Translation (Sinhala): "යහපත් වීම යනු කරුණාවකින් ආරම්භ වූවක් නොවේ. කරුණාව ශක්තියෙන් එන අතර, යහපත් බව බියෙන් එනවා."

Translation (Tamil): "நல்லவராக இருப்பது இனியவராக இருப்பதற்கில்லை. இனியவை பலத்திலிருந்து வருகிறது; நல்லவைகள் பயத்திலிருந்து வருகிறது."
