Memorable Quote (from the book)
"We live in a time when words are too slow, and science is too cold to move people."
Translation (Sinhala):
"අපි වචන මන්දගාමී සහ විද්යාව කාලෙකට වඩා සිසිල් යන කාලයක ජීවත්වෙනවා."
Translation (Tamil):
"நாம் வசிக்கும் காலம், வார்த்தைகள் மெதுவாகவும், அறிவியல் மக்கள் மனங்களை நனைய செய்யத் தேவையானதில்லை."
