"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. "

The discussions also focused on the recent developments across land crossings, with the latest being the bombing of the Masnaa Border Crossing, which is "the main passage between Lebanon and Syria and is now a humanitarian corridor."
