Memorable Quotes from "Crime and Punishment"
“The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment—as well as prison.”
Translation (Sinhala): "අදහා ගැනීමේ දුක්ඛිතකම දක්වන මිනිසත්, තම ගනන ප්රකාශ කිරීමේදී වේදනා ගැනීමට පටන් ගනී. ඒ යනු එහි දඩුවම් - එය සිරකිරීම මෙන්ම."
Translation (Tamil): "ஒரு மனிதனுக்கு தன் பாவத்தை ஒப்புக்கொள்வதால் வலியுறுத்தும் சாபம் உள்ளது. அதுவே அவரது தண்டனை - சிறைத்தண்டனையுடன் இணைந்து."
“To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.”
Translation (Sinhala): "ඔබේම මාර්ගයෙන් වැරදි යාම, අනිත් අයෙකුගේ මාර්ගයෙන් නිවැරදි යාමට වඩා හොඳය."
Translation (Tamil): "உங்களின் பாதையில் தவறுவது, மற்றவரின் பாதையில் சரியானது என்பதை விட சிறந்தது."
