I have an unusual statement to make. I am a man who believes he is happy. What makes it unusual is that a man who is happy seldom tells anyone. The unhappy man is more communicative. He is eager to recite what is wrong with the world, and he seems to have a talent for gathering a large audience. It is a modern tragedy that despair has so many spokesmen, and hope so few.
We are not just visitors on this planet, it belongs to us as we belong to her, its past is ours, so is its future.
Amin Maalouf, Lebanon
