More quotes by Tom Clancy
I think it's an intellectual duty for a person who lives in a free society to read material not only with which you agree, but with which you disagree. Because every so often somebody you think is wrong will actually turn out to be right.
Tom Clancy
What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It's not good at much else.
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
Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.
Tom Clancy
Literature is written material that, 100 years after the death of the author, is forced upon high school students.
Tom Clancy
Life was such a strange thing, so permanent when one had it, so fleeting when it was lost- and those who lost it could never tell you what it was like, could they?
Tom Clancy
The tactics...no, amateurs discuss tactics,.... Professional soldiers study logistics.
Tom Clancy
The smaller the mind, the greater the ego.
Tom Clancy
I just finished reading the Koran, and there's nothing in there I didn't hear in Sunday school.
Tom Clancy
Civilians listened to officers, which said a lot about the intelligence of civilians.
Tom Clancy
Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change about you, but your dream will not. It will always be your link with the person, young and full of hope. If you hold on to it you may grow old but you will never be old. And that is the ultimate success
Tom Clancy
There is a long and honorable tradition of citizens in service to their nation that goes back at least as far as Cincinnatus, the Roman citizen who, more than once answered his country's call, then returned to his farm and his family and his work.
Tom Clancy
There is more to military units than hardware. There is the character of the unit's personnel: their strengths, experience, and knowledge, their ability to get along and work together amid the horrors of the battlefield. There is an almost undefinable quality. That quality is the Marine Corps' secret weapon. Their edge. That quality is their ethos.
Tom Clancy
The point of life was to press on, to do the best you can, to make the world a better place.
Tom Clancy
It was one thing to use computers as a tool, quite another to let them do your thinking for you.
Tom Clancy
The human condition today is better than it's ever been, and technology is one of the reasons for that.
Tom Clancy
Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.
Tom Clancy
I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.
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.

She didn't strike me as a crossword in ink kind of girl
