Warriors say they act not for profit but for the spirit.”

“Malin listened to Wickramanayake's gossip dispassionately. He did not accept Wickramanayake's opinion that it was the influence of Western customs and attitudes that prompted Savulugala, in his straitened economic circumstances, to allow his wife to befriend and exploit wealthy men. There were poor people in both town and village who exploited even their daughters to get money. Did these poor parents degrade themselves because they were enslaved by Western culture? It was the prevailing economic and social order that brought them to this.”

“Malina'yla ilişkim yıllar boyu sonuç vermeyen karşılaşmalardan, düşünülebilecek en büyük yanlış anlamalardan ve birkaç budalaca düşten ibaret kaldı - yani başka insanlarla aramda olanlardan çok daha büyük yanlış anlamalar, demek istediğim. Ama şu da var ki, daha başlangıçtan onun egemenliği altına girmiştim; benim felaketin olacağını, Malina'nın yerinin, o daha hayatıma girmezden önce Malina tarafından alındığını erken anlamış olmalıyım. Esirgendiğim tek şey, onunla çok erken bir araya gelmekti, ya da ben kendimi bundan korudum.”
