[1] M reminds Bond:
‘A license to kill
is also a license
not to kill.’
Reflection:
Killing is the last resort,
for protecting the living,
not for making a living.
[2] On the Nine Eyes Committee:
If there is combined intelligence,
that watch everyone,
who watches these eyes?
Reflection:
For the most basic security,
we must watch themselves
by observing the Precepts well.
[3] Bond explains to Madeleine:
‘I promised him I’d protect you.
The first thing to do
is to teach you how to protect yourself.’
Reflection:
The foremost protection
is from learning to protect yourself,
after which, you can protect others too.
