When you live in a networked environment, it's possible to separate data from applications.

One is to ensure that the war fighters and the intelligence analysts get the information that they need when they need it, in a format that's useful to them.

Our focus is on outputs rather than inputs.

So we have a group within the office that is devoted to support for the war fighter. That's, of necessity, an operational and tactical level of concern.

The users are not going to be in the position of accepting what's been collected; they're going to be in the position of being able to demand collection.

In other words, by finding the anomalous event, what you do is you get out ahead of activities.

We have been working hard to think about what our combined needs are going to be in the way of intelligence capabilities, not today but 15 to 20 years in the future.

The beauty of life is sharing life.

Think before you speak, unless it's urgent

Whatever you do, let it be done with profound love.

When you're playing it as a business... your livelihood depends on winning and losing and so some- times sportsmanship is lost, as in the process of billion dollar companies.

However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings - even though most come at the hands of white dudes.

There's no image we can't improve.

Life, even in the hardest times, is full of moments to savor. They will not come this way again, not in this way.

If a ballet dancer falls over, it's knowing how to get out looking clumsy that counts.
