Memorable Quote (from the book)
"Love teaches you how full life can be and how empty it can feel without it."
Translation (Sinhala):
"ආදරය ඔබට ජීවිතය කොතරම් පූර්ණ විය හැකිද කියා ඉගියි එය නැතිව කොතරම් හිස්ද කියාද."
Translation (Tamil):
"காதல் வாழ்க்கையை எவ்வளவு நிரம்பியதாக மாற்றும் என்பதை கற்றுத்தரும் அது இல்லாமல் வாழ்க்கை எவ்வளவு காலியாக இருக்கும் என்பதையும்."
