“Sri Lanka is our country. Our culture, our race, our people. Sometimes we forget this, forget that greatness can also be achieved in our Motherland. Our Motherland, what it means to us and how we can make it better. We chase that elusive dream, the white picket fenced house, which is not ours, some white-man in the west goes to sleep and wakes up thinking about it. And we foolishly dream his dream. When can we ever shred the noose of our colonial masters?”
Dhammika Dharmawardhane
““Every time you try to conform to other people’s expectations you are unhappy. When you are who you are, you are happy. But then you make those around you unhappy. In consequence you become unhappy. As a result of their unhappiness. So you remain as ever, unhappy.””
