I write strictly for fun... as long as it stays fun I'll continue to do it.
Tom Clancy
Image
The point of life was to press on, to do the best you can, to make the world a better place.
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.

Remember, for every shot you fire, someone, somewhere, is making money.
Tom Clancy
Image
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
Image
The first rumors about Zenith came from the Czechoslovakians.
Tom Clancy

Life is about learning when you stop learning, you die.
Tom Clancy

Keep at it! The one talent that's indispensable to a writer is persistence. You must write the book, else there is no book. It will not finish itself. Do not try to commit art. Just tell the damned story.
Tom Clancy
Image
People, I am actually fairly smart. Why has this not occurred to anyone? The information is all out there, if you go looking for it, and the classified stuff just comes from analyzing the unclassified stuff and connecting the dots.
Tom Clancy
Image
Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.
