Rabih Alameddine Quotes

Like All Cities, Beirut Has Many Layers, And I Had Been Familiar With One Or Two. What I Was Introduced To That Day With Ali And Kamal Was The Beirut Of Its People. You Take Different Groups, Put Them On Top Of Each Other, Simmer For A Thousand Years, Keep Adding More And More Strange Tribes, Simmer For Another Few Thousand Years, Salt And Pepper With Religion, And What You Get Is A Delightful Mess Of A Stew That Still Tastes Delectable And Exotic, No Matter How Many Times You Partake Of It.
