Tom Clancy
Learn to write the same way you learn to play golf. You do it and keep doing it until you get it right.
Tom Clancy
Washington D.C. is about 300 square miles surrounded by realty.
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.

The only real difference between a wise man and a fool, Moore knew, was that the wise man tended to make more serious mistakes—and only because no one trusted a fool with really crucial decisions only the wise had the opportunity to lose battles, or nations.
Tom Clancy
Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not... Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it... Because the dream is within you. No one can take your dream away.
Tom Clancy
A lawyer is just like an attack dog, only without a conscience.

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
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
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
I am a politician which means I am a liar and a crook. When I am not kissing babies I am stealing their lollypops.
Tom Clancy
Wars are begun by frightened men.
Tom Clancy
Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.
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
Fundamentally, I think of myself as a storyteller, not a writer.
