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. Alex Garland
About This Quote

When I was a kid, my father used to tell me that this place is paradise. Just a few years ago, I was in a similar situation. You know what? It's exactly the same thing. This place is paradise for the hungry.

For all those who have been deprived of something they want, this place is paradise. In this place, there is no need to be polite or refuse an invitation. Just suck in the experience and if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it.
