More quotes by Tom Clancy
Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.
Tom Clancy
That's the ultimate pornography. There's nothing more pornographic than glorifying war.
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
Even true believers had consciences, Too bad.
Tom Clancy
Speak your dialogue out loud. If it sounds like the way people talk, then write it down.
Tom Clancy
Back in pre-Revolutionary America cruel and unusual punishment meant the rack and burning at the stake... in more recent rulings it has been taken to mean the absence of cable television and denial of sex-change operations, or just overcrowding in the prisons.
Tom Clancy
Surviving is much more painful than death.
Tom Clancy
Wars are begun by frightened men.
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
Collaboration on a book is the ultimate unnatural act.
Tom Clancy
If you don't write the book, the book ain't gonna get written.
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
One thing about flying that he never got used to was that no matter how awful the weather was on the ground, if you flew high enough you could always find the sun.
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
The U.S. Military is us. There is no truer representation of a country than the people that it sends into the field to fight for it. The people who wear our uniform and carry our rifles into combat are our kids, and our job is to support them, because they're protecting us.
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
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 Only way to do all the things you'd like to do is to read
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
To Ronald Wilson Regan, The Fortieth President of The United States: The Man Who Won The War.
