And, so, what was it that elevated Rubi from dictator's son-in-law to movie star's husband to the sort of man who might capture the hand of the world's wealthiest heiress?
Well, there was his native charm.
People who knew him, even if only casually, even if they were predisposed to be suspicious or resentful of him, came away liking him. He picked up checks; he had courtly manners; he kept the party gay and lively; he was attentive to women but made men feel at ease; he was smoothly quick to rise from his chair when introduced, to open doors, to light a lady's cigarette ("I have the fastest cigarette lighter in the house," he once boasted): the quintessential chivalrous gent of manners.
The encomia, if bland, were universal. "He's a very nice guy," swore gossip columnist Earl Wilson, who stayed with Rubi in Paris. ""I'm fond of him," said John Perona, owner of New York's El Morocco. "Rubi's got a nice personality and is completely masculine," attested a New York clubgoer. "He has a lot of men friends, which, I suppose, is unusual. Aly Khan, for instance, has few male friends. But everyone I know thinks Rubi is a good guy." "He is one of the nicest guys I know," declared that famed chum of famed playboys Peter Lawford. "A really charming man- witty, fun to be with, and a he-man."
There were a few tricks to his trade. A society photographer judged him with a professional eye thus: "He can meet you for a minute and a month later remember you very well." An ~ Shawn Levy
Rabih El quotes by Shawn Levy
You know, El, you're so much more than the time you were with Bill and the attack. You took something shitty and you made a new future. Most people don't do that. They hang on forever. It's easy to stay in that pit of despair. Or let it be your excuse for not moving on. ~ Lauren Dane
Rabih El quotes by Lauren Dane
Oh my god what am I doing with my life? ~ El-P
Rabih El quotes by El-P
I loved problems on paper, and I was good at math, but I was a mechanical engineer, and I never understood - or cared to - how a car worked. ~ Rabih Alameddine
Rabih El quotes by Rabih Alameddine
I hate the night, the awful night!
It muzzles the scream of pain, it rolls the spin of woes,
and the waves of the night are sweeping the town serving none
but the ill-fated ones.

The masquerade of time,
what does it conceal in its twists?
Agony and more in that night of bore.

The night, what a night!
A night of endless sighs and cries!

I hate the night, that awful night,
and I see no light, no hope for dawn, no peace in sight,
nothing but to suffer from the turmoil.

The night of pain!
The night of shame!
The untamed night of the wickedest symphonies! ~ Noha Alaa El-Din
Rabih El quotes by Noha Alaa El-Din
Can you imagine how lonely she must have felt when she received that phone call? Your lover has just died, your companion has abandoned you, but don't you dare make an inappropriate sound, because your family is around. No one to touch you the way he did, no one to understand you, no one to hug you to sleep, but don't dare allow your face to show a glint of grief. The cutting pain of feeling alone amid loved ones. ~ Rabih Alameddine
Rabih El quotes by Rabih Alameddine
When you have a dream and someone makes promises they keep breaking, it is hard to recover. You lose hope. ~ Yasmine El Rashidi
Rabih El quotes by Yasmine El Rashidi
In a conflict doesn't win who has more weapons but who knows best use for them ~ Miguel El Portugues
Rabih El quotes by Miguel El Portugues
To stop a habit or a vice seeks freedom in yourself ~ Miguel El Portugues
Rabih El quotes by Miguel El Portugues
Can the darkness condemn the light? ~ El Greco
Rabih El quotes by El Greco
...it was becoming obvious that the war he had been anticipating, "in three to five years" might have already begun, as many wars do begin, he said, not with a major event reported in the news but with sufferings barely noticed: an unjust law, a murder, a peaceful protest march attacked by police. It begins, according to Leonel, with poverty endured by many and corruption benefiting the few, with crimes unpunished, a hardening of positions, the failure of peaceful means of appeal and redress. ~ Carolyn Forche
Rabih El quotes by Carolyn Forche
There's a certain missing feeling, a void out there that I'm more than happy to fill. Without criticizing what's out there now, I'm just going to do El DeBarge. ~ El DeBarge
Rabih El quotes by El DeBarge
Laws that treat people living with HIV or those at greatest risk with respect start with the way that we treat them ourselves: as equals. If we are going to stop the spread of HIV in our lifetime, then that is the change we need to spread. ~ Shereen El Feki
Rabih El quotes by Shereen El Feki
To write is to know that you are not at home. ~ Rabih Alameddine
Rabih El quotes by Rabih Alameddine
When we forget where we've been, we can't marvel at where we're going! HS/el ~ Evinda Lepins
Rabih El quotes by Evinda Lepins
I come from a place where you have a lot of sky. But [in New York City] you have to really look up to realize that there is eventually sky, somewhere ... Sky is not a common commodity. ~ El Anatsui
Rabih El quotes by El Anatsui
Just like the strangers who'd fed me in El Salvador or South Africa, I was going to have to see and understand the hunger of other, different men and women, and make a gesture of welcome, and eat with them. And just as I hadn't "deserved" any of what had been given to me - the fish, the biscuits, the tea so abundantly poured out back in those years - I didn't deserve communion myself now. I wasn't getting it because I was good. I wasn't getting it because I was special. I certainly didn't get to pick who else was good enough, holy enough, deserving enough, to receive it. It wasn't a private meal. The bread on that Table had to be shared with everyone in order for me to really taste it. ~ Sara Miles
Rabih El quotes by Sara Miles
The first "station of separation" corresponds to the state of the ordinary man who perceives the universe as distinct from God. Starting from here, the initiatic itinerary leads the being first to extinction in the divine Unity, which abolishes all perception of created things. But spiritual realization, if it is complete, arrives afterwards at the "second station of separation" where the being perceives simultaneously the one in the multiple and the multiple in the one. ~ Abdelkader El Djezairi
Rabih El quotes by Abdelkader El Djezairi
Unity is power; without unity women cannot fight for their rights anywhere. ~ Nawal El Saadawi
Rabih El quotes by Nawal El Saadawi
She wondered if all boys were like this, their meanness a self defense. ~ Omar El Akkad
Rabih El quotes by Omar El Akkad
Bravery is believing in yourself, and that thing nobody can teach you. ~ El Cordobes
Rabih El quotes by El Cordobes
You want to see my eagerness flooding my eyes,
(Moved) you wanted me to cry my heart out, and then, by the power of your presence again in my life, every granule of pain turns miraculously into a sparkling diamond of love. ~ Noha Alaa El-Din
Rabih El quotes by Noha Alaa El-Din
Build my night with your cheeks. ~ Malak El Halabi
Rabih El quotes by Malak El Halabi
Like a tenacious ivy, your presence clings onto the drab wall of my existence.
Cling harder onto me love, like a blood sucking bed-bug who is never satiated. ~ Malak El Halabi
Rabih El quotes by Malak El Halabi
Salvador [Dali] was brought up in Spain, a country colored by the legends of Hannibal, El Greco, and Cervantes. I was brought up in Ohio, a region steeped in the tradition of Coxey's Army, the Anti-Saloon League, and William Howard Taft. ~ James Thurber
Rabih El quotes by James Thurber
Nobody ever said I'm a simple personality. ~ Rabih Alameddine
Rabih El quotes by Rabih Alameddine
Knowledge unlocks the door to the mysteries of our mistakes; wisdom guides us away from repeating them. HS/el ~ Evinda Lepins
Rabih El quotes by Evinda Lepins
Some countries have good laws, laws which could stem the tide of HIV. The problem is that these laws are flouted. Because stigma gives unofficial license to treat people living with HIV or those at greatest risk unlike other citizens. ~ Shereen El Feki
Rabih El quotes by Shereen El Feki
El duende is literally the goblin wind or force behind a person's actions and creative life, including the way they walk, the sound of their voice, even the way they lift their little finger. It is a term used in flamenco dance, and is also used to describe the ability to "think" in poetic images. Among Latina curanderas who recollect story, it is understood as the ability to be filled with spirit that is more than one's own spirit. Whether one is the artist or whether one is the watcher, listener, or reader, when el duende is present, one sees it, hears it, reads it, feels it underneath the dance, the music, the words, the art; one knows it is there. When el duende is not present, one knows that too. ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Rabih El quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Uncle Jihad used to say that what happens is of little significance compared with the stories we tell ourselves about what happens. Events matter little, only stories of those events affect us. My father and I may have shared numerous experiences, but, as I was constantly finding out, we rarely shared their stories; we din't know how to listen to one another. ~ Rabih Alameddine
Rabih El quotes by Rabih Alameddine
I was in no way ready when my daughter was born. But I want to be a good father to her. ~ El DeBarge
Rabih El quotes by El DeBarge
