“You don't have to put up a fight, you don't have to always be right.
Let me take some of the punches for you tonight.
Listen to me now, I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone.
And it's you when I look in the mirror.
It's you when I pick up the phone.
Sometimes you can't make it on your own.”

Bono (1960) Irish rock musician, singer of U2

Lyrics, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004)

“Because when you look at data going; you can't know "oh, that's a terrorist" and "that's not a terrorist", you probably have to look at more people to find who is a potential terrorist.”

Gerard de Graaf (1962)

Context: I think if you look at the general public, if you can catch - I mean, yes, there's always risk to privacy. Because when you look at data going; you can't know "oh, that's a terrorist" and "that's not a terrorist", you probably have to look at more people to find who is a potential terrorist. But I think that you cannot belittle the need to use all possible means to avoid if only one terrorist attack.
