More quotes by Tom Clancy
Every person you meet - and everything you do in life - is an opportunity to learn something.
Tom Clancy
There are people in government who don't want other people to know what they know. It's just another example of elitism. And I spit on elitism. Show me an elitist, and I'll show you a loser.
Tom Clancy
Liberation and equal-rights issues notwithstanding, it was a man's job to make a woman feel cherished and respected.
Tom Clancy
Sunday was the normal day for the political awareness session at sea. Ordinarily Putin would have officiated, reading some Pravada editorials, followed by selected quotations from the works of Lenin and a discussion of the lessons to be learned from the readings. It is very much like a church service.
Tom Clancy
The first rumors about Zenith came from the Czechoslovakians.
Tom Clancy
Civilians listened to officers, which said a lot about the intelligence of civilians.
Tom Clancy
Anti-Catholicism is the last respectable prejudice. You can't hate black people anymore, of course, and you can't hate homosexuals anymore, but you can hate all the Catholics you want.
Tom Clancy
If you don't write the book, the book ain't gonna get written.
Tom Clancy
My life is a very simple life thank you
Tom Clancy
I wanted to see my name on the cover of a book. If your name is in the Library of Congress, you're immortal.
Tom Clancy
Privacy and loneliness were the traditional luxuries accorded to a skipper.
Tom Clancy
That's the ultimate pornography. There's nothing more pornographic than glorifying war.
Tom Clancy
Speak your dialogue out loud. If it sounds like the way people talk, then write it down.
Tom Clancy
The Good of the People was a laudable enough goal, but in denying a man's soul, an enduring part of his being, Marxism stripped away the foundation of human dignity and individual value. It also cast aside the objective measure of justice and ethics which, he decided, was the principal legacy of religion to civilized life.
Tom Clancy
Fundamentally, I think of myself as a storyteller, not a writer.
Tom Clancy
America is the most inventive country in the world. Why? Because everybody has access to information. In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them.
Tom Clancy
Success will ruin your life.
Tom Clancy
Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.
Tom Clancy
In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them. They tried to classify everything.
Tom Clancy
I think about the characters I've created and then I sit down and start typing and see what they will do. There's a lot of subconscious thought that goes on. It amazes me to find out, a few chapters later, why I put someone in a certain place when I did. It's spooky.
Tom Clancy
