Here are the Beach film quotes:

1. “I still believe 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 for a moment in your life when you’re a part of something. And if you find that moment, it lasts forever.” Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio)
2. “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 (Leonardo DiCaprio)
3. “I just feel like everyone tries to do something different, but you always wind up doing the same damn thing.” Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio)

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’s just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it’s just what you’ve been searching for all these years.” Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio)
2. “You hope, and you dream. But you never believe that something’s gonna happen for you. Not like it does in the movies. And when it actually does, you want it to feel different, more visceral, more real.” Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio)
3. “The only downer is everyones got the same idea, we all travel thousands of miles just to watch tv and check in to somewhere with all the comforts of home, and you gotta ask yourself, what is the point of that?” Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio)
4. “Look, no offense and all. But, you’re fucked in the head right?” Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio)
5. “This is just the kind of pretentious bullshit that Americans always say to french girls so they can sleep with them.” Françoise (Virginie Ledoyen)
6. “If I was being completely honest, I was just like everybody else: shit-scared of the great unknown.” Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio)

1. “Richard: I’m American.
   Etienne: So?
   Richard: I think in miles, not kilometers.
   Etienne: Okay, so how many miles do you think it is?
   Richard: I don’t know, but it looks like a long way away.”
2. “Anywhere you go, desire is desire. The sun cannot bleach it, nor the tide wash it away.”
3. “Françoise: What are you talking about?
   Richard: Just making conversation.
   Françoise: Do you have a girlfriend?
   Richard: Here?
   Françoise: Anywhere.
   Richard: No, why?
   Françoise: Just making conversation.”
4. Richard: That is an ASSHOLE idea!
5. “Sal: “Okay, it’s like this. Bugs is my boyfriend, my partner. Okay? And you are someone I just had sex with. All right?”
   Richard: “Oh, tha; that’s fine. That’s absolutely fine.”
