"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

A suicide bomber blew himself up as security forces raided his hotel room in Beirut's Raouche district Wednesday evening, injuring at least 11 people, in the third such blast to strike Lebanon in less than one week.
Firefighters rushed to extinguish flames on the third floor of the Duroy Hotel near the Beirut seaside as police and army men cordoned off the area.
The interior ministry said that three members of the security forces and a second attacker were injured in the blast, including one policeman who was in critical condition.
Seven civilians were also wounded in the attack according, the Lebanese Red Cross said in a statement.
"It is noteworthy that it is the security precautions that are preventing the suicide bombers from reaching their targets," Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk told reporters outside the hotel, pointing out that the last two suicide bombers were stopped at security checkpoints.
