Music had always played an important role in Aix and there were many active musical societies. The theatre was well frequented, there was a university and various local heritage and language societies to keep the past alive, to show that Aix had its own cultural identity.”

“In al deze ontsporende mechanismen zien we een overkoepelend of ‘metapatroon’, namelijk de drang tot zelfcontrole. Immers, mijn hele identiteit creëert de illusie dat als ik mezelf niet onder controle houd, mijn kern van slechtheid (het negatieve geloof !) naar buiten komt en schade gaat aanrichten. Deze illusie creëert haar eigen argumenten, kijk maar: eerst is er het negatieve geloof, bijvoorbeeld ‘ik ben zwak’. Daarop volgt de basisregel dat ik mezelf onder controle moet houden in zaken die ik lekker vind, bijvoorbeeld alcohol drinken. Het gedragspatroon zal vervolgens energie steken in het afremmen of onderdrukken van de zin in alcoholische drank. Dat wordt gevoeld als een beknelling. De frustratie daarover bouwt zich op en keert zich op een bepaald moment tegen de zelfcontrole. Er ontstaat een bui waarin we tegen onszelf iets zeggen in de trant van ‘Ach, wat kan het me ook eigenlijk verdommen, ik doe lekker even helemaal waar ik zin in heb.’ Er volgt een uitspatting plus de volgende dag een kater. Op dat moment is er een argument gecreëerd voor een nieuwe ronde van zelfcontrole, een zogenaamd zie-je-wel-argument: ‘Zie je wel dat je helemaal de mist in gaat als je jezelf niet onder controle houdt.’ Het negatieve geloof in de eigen zwakheid is bevestigd door het mislukken van de poging die zwakheid te bedekken met zelfcontrole.”

“In al-Qaeda we see a terrorist grouping with, in many ways, a medieval ideology, employing today's technology to great advantage. It works in a thoroughly modern way, virtual, amorphous, franchised and unbounded by geography. It has recruited people from all over the world. It understands the power of images, both in its campaign of terror and in its recruitment and proselytising material. It skillfully exploits the instant communications and social networking of the IT age.”

If you want to know how healthy the world is, come to the Arctic and feel its pulse.”
“In alchemical treatises, the formula L'Oeuvre au Noir ... designates what is said to be the most difficult phase of the alchemist's process, the separation and dissolution of substance. It is still not clear whether the term applied to daring experiments on matter itself, or whether it was understood to symbolize trials of the mind in discarding all forms of routine and prejudice. Doubtless it signified one or the other meaning alternately, or perhaps both at the same time.”
