“Ik besloot te gaan vissen, oftewel te schoorsteenvegen. Je vraagt een patiënt zich te concentreren op een emotioneel overbeladen herinneringsflard terwijl hij je heen en weer bewegende vingers met de blik volgt en vervolgens zijn gedachtestroom uitspreekt. Ofwel mondt die uit in een leegte, en wanneer de patiënt een "bodyscan" uitvoert (het mentaal overlopen van zijn verschillende lichaamszones), blijkt alle spanning verdwenen. Ofwel botst hij op een ander beeld dat beladen is met spanning en het uitgangspunt wordt voor een nieuwe reeks. De interventies van de therapeut blijven beperkt tot het ingang zetten van het proces, het aanmoedigen om door te gaan, en vooral het vestigen van de aandacht op de lichaamservaringen en het vragen naar een "bodyscan".”

“Als het effect van een handeling precies het tegengestelde is van wat je ermee beoogt, dan spreken we van een contraproductieve reflex. Een veel gebruikt voorbeeld hiervan is krabben als je jeuk hebt van een muggenbeet: de jeuk wordt er juist erger door. Een verslaving is een schoolvoorbeeld van een contraproductieve reflex: het verslavende middel is bedoeld om een einde te maken aan een beknellend gevoel en in plaats daarvan een prettig gevoel te creëren. Dat lukt telkens heel eventjes tijdens de roes van het middel, maar tegelijkertijd versterkt het gebruik van dat middel de negatieve gevoelens die men er juist mee wilde ontvluchten. Als je drinkt om je geremdheid in gezelschap kwijt te raken, zul je jezelf steeds geremder gaan voelen en de drank steeds meer nodig hebben om nog af en toe iets spontaans te kunnen doen. Gebruik je pepmiddelen om van je chronische moeheid af te komen en het leven energieker tegemoet te treden, dan zul je je steeds vermoeider gaan voelen en op den duur niet eens je huis meer kunnen opruimen zonder het pepmiddel.”

“You’re going to castrate them if they give me a sideways glance?” He looked at the ground. “I’m not bringing you to the safest place and you’re beautiful, so I needed to warn them.” “I’m beautiful?” I repeated trying not to smile. “Don’t let it go to your head, darling.” He said holding his hand out for me. “You’re not too bad yourself.” “I know. I saw the way you stared at me when I took my shirt off.” Hunter said.”

“Main ingredients: rice, distilled alcohol, brewing saccharides...' what's that all mean?" "During the second World War, something called sanbaizōshu was created as a way to make sake from a small very small amount of rice." "'Sanbaizōshu'?" "Essentially, you take sake made the proper way but then dilute it until it's three times its original volume. Besides water, the main additive is distilled grain alcohol, followed by malt syrup, glucose, and MSG to fix the flavor." "What? You add a completely different alcohol that wasn't created during the brewing?!" "Monosodium glutamate? I can't believe they'd add such a thing to a drink!" "You're right. This isn't real sake. Although we now have an abundant supply of rice, the big beverage companies still make sanbaizōshu since it's an easy way for them to make a profit." "But I trusted them because they're popular brands..." "It's the other way around. Most of the large companies with huge advertising campaigns on TV and whatnot use this method." "Then what about this bottle with "Junmaishu" on it?" "It's from a small brewery in the countryside, a sake made from nothing but rice, kōji, and water. This is the kind of sake that should have an ingredient label so that people can see that it's truly pure. It's a tragedy that we have it the other way around here in Japan. Is there any other country in the world that's degraded their traditional drink like this?It's an important part of our culture and it's almost been destroyed.”

“In France, caviar, truffles and foie gras are considered to be the three major delicacies. And when the French eat caviar, they don't drink wine with it. The French aren't stupid. They're more than aware that no wine goes well with caviar. That's why they drink vodka with it. But they don't know about sake." "You're right. Vodka's usually served with caviar." "But vodka really isn't a drink to have during a meal." "It's not just caviar--- I don't think wine goes well with any kind of seafood. It doesn't matter whether the fish is grilled, simmered, raw or in a bouillabaisse. And it's completely out of the question for things like raw oysters, karasumi and sea urchin. Wine contains far more sodium than sake. And some of those sodium compounds do not mix well with the fats in the fish, so that distinctive seafood flavor ends up being emphasized even more. On the other hand, sake has hardly any sodium, so it doesn't bring out the fishiness. And the sugars from the rice starch enhance the flavor of the food." "Hmm." "Come to think of it, shiokara tastes a lot better when you eat it with rice than when you eat it on its own. I guess this is the same thing. It's the power of rice.”
