1- Lebanon is the spawn of history and geography. It is a body of languages, values, and traditions… It is all of that and more. It is a mode of being and doing and eating and drinking... It is music and art and architecture; a mode of speaking and thinking...
2- It is a symphony of literature, a subtlety of spirit, a savoir faire and savoir vivre, a rich gastronomy, an enthralling landscape, a form of cultural suppleness and elegance, a particular language that is an imbrication of languages with a particular psychology all its own...
3- Lebanon is kind of kindness, openness, hospitality to the world… It is Cadmus, Europa, Ulpian, Fakhreddin, Bashir, Charles Corm, Gibran, Nadia Tuéni… “My country is Love,” famously said Europa, “we are friends and kinsmen to Mankind….”
4- All are welcome to partake of this Lebanon!! But as long as they LOVE it; as long as their aim is to contribute to it, NOT erase it.
Matthew 11:15
