When you are infatuated with someone, you decide that that's what you want, and you don't need any reason.
I don't know, but it's so far away. `` It's too far away, and you'll drown... How would you know if you didn't try it.
Richard: My name is Richard. Anything else you want to know? Something about my family, or where I'm from? None of that matters. Especially when you cross the ocean to free yourself to find those beautiful, exciting things. Yes, I admit, some things are dangerous. In the 18 hours now, three boring movies, two unpalatable meals and six beers on the plane, no sleepiness at all. Finally I'm going to land, in Bangkok.
Richard: And me, I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for, 'cause it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something, and if you find that moment... it lasts forever...
Richard: As for me, I still believe in heaven. It's just that at least I now know that heaven isn't the place you're bothering to find. It's a sense of belonging in the heart, and if you find that moment...then it will be forever...
Richard: Trust me, it's paradise. This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it.
Richard: Trust me, this is heaven. This is the dream place. For me, that's a generation that circumnavigates most of the globe to find places we've never seen before. So don't turn down any invitation, don't resist the unknown, and don't be unpopular for staying too long. Just open up and get involved, even if it hurts, you know? It's worth it.
