Two passages I want to remember in "The Beach"

1. When you develop an infatuation for someone, You always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you.

It doesn't need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example.

Now in the long run, that is just the dumb irritating habit that would cause you to split up.

But in the haze of that infatuation, it's just something you've been looking for all these years.

When you have a crush on someone,

You'll always find reasons to believe that this person is the person you're looking for, and you don't need a good reason, like taking pictures of the night sky with her.

In the long run, that's just stupid annoying habits that lead to your eventual separation.

But in this haze of obsession, you get the feeling that that's what you've been looking for for years.

2. I still belive in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for.

Because it's not where you go,

It's how you feel in your life when you're a part of something.

And if you find that moment,

It lasts forever.

I still believe in heaven. But at least now I know that heaven is not a place you can find it.

Because heaven is never a place you go.

It's how you feel when you become part of something in your life.

If you find that moment,

It is eternal.

    Backpacker movies should be supported. That year, Xiao Lizi was still so handsome and in good shape!
