Memorable Quotes from "Eat, Drink, Run"
"Going for a run might not banish her sadness but at least it might show it that she was damn well trying to beat it, which is sometimes half the battle."
Translation (Sinhala): "දුවන්න යාමෙන් ඇගේ දුක නැති නොවිය හැකි නමුත්, එය පරාජය කිරීමට ඇය උත්සාහ කරමින් සිටින බව පෙන්විය හැකි අතර, එය සමහර විට සටනේ අඩක් වේ."
Translation (Tamil): "ஓடச் செல்வது அவளின் சோகத்தை நீக்காமல் இருக்கலாம், ஆனால் அதைக் கடக்க அவள் முயற்சி செய்கிறாள் என்பதை காட்ட முடியும், இது சில நேரங்களில் போராட்டத்தின் பாதியாகும்."
"Maybe rather than sitting on the sofa watching the world go by, fulfilling your dreams was just about standing up and taking that first step."
Translation (Sinhala): "සෝෆාවේ ඉඳගෙන ලෝකය ගමන් කරන අයුරු නරඹනවාට වඩා, ඔබේ සිහිනයන් ඉටු කරන්නේ නැගිටලා පළමු පියවර ගන්නා ගැනීමයි."
Translation (Tamil): "பலகனையில் அமர்ந்து உலகை கடந்து செல்லும் விதத்தைப் பார்க்கும் பதிலாக, உங்கள் கனவுகளை நிறைவேற்றுவது எழுந்து முதல் படியை எடுப்பதையே பற்றியது."
"Extraordinary things can happen to us all if we're just willing to keep going."
Translation (Sinhala): "අපි හැමෝටම අතිවිශිෂ්ට දේවල් සිදුවිය හැකියි, අපි දිගටම යාමට කැමති නම්."
