“He was still having trouble readjusting. Wars were something you studied, not something that actually happened.”

“And if something were to happen to me”
Appearance on the Dutch-TV program "Jensen!", a couple of months before being assassinated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Sl4CvmjfE
Context: If you could see what I get in my mailbox every now and then, regarding threats, and so on, well that doesn't exactly cheer you up, and the Dutch government – and I think it's a 'bloody shame' – helps create a climate demonizing me personally. And if something were to happen to me – and I'm glad that you're giving me the chance (to say this) – if something were to happen to me, then they will be partly responsible, and they can't just walk away saying "I'm not the one who committed the attack." They helped to create this climate (this atmosphere), and it needs to stop.
