Faces and Landscapes of Lebanon

“Being Lebanese is a neurotic profession : for some, it means loving Lebanon and being unable to live there. For others, it means cursing Lebanon but being unable to leave it. Being Lebanese is a lifetime contract : you can leave Lebanon but Lebanon never leaves you. To be Lebanese is to make Brel’s words your own, and to remember that there are burnt lands that yield more wheat than a better April. To keep hope and to rise again. Heyda Loubnan. This is Lebanon.”

Roda Fawaz, Belgian author and actor of Lebanese origin.
