More quotes by Tom Clancy
A lawyer is just like an attack dog, only without a conscience.
Tom Clancy
I haven't got any fan mail from Osama bin Laden. I have no reason to believe he reads my stuff I'll never decide for commercial reasons to put something in that endangers our national security. You just can't do that.
Tom Clancy
Success will ruin your life.
Tom Clancy
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
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
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
Two questions form the foundation of all novels: What if? and What next? (A third question, What now?, is one the author asks himself every 10 minutes or so but it's more a cry than a question.) Every novel begins with the speculative question, What if X happened? That's how you start.
Tom Clancy
Liberation and equal-rights issues notwithstanding, it was a man's job to make a woman feel cherished and respected.
Tom Clancy
The human condition today is better than it's ever been, and technology is one of the reasons for that.
Tom Clancy
Surviving is much more painful than death.
Tom Clancy
I understand why we do that now. It’s a help, not a threat. It’s something to remind you how important words are. Ideas are important. Principles are important. Words are important. Your word is the most important of all. Your word is who you are.
Tom Clancy
Life is about learning when you stop learning, you die.
Tom Clancy
That's the ultimate pornography. There's nothing more pornographic than glorifying war.
Tom Clancy
Every novel begins with the speculative question, What if X happened? That's how you start.
Tom Clancy
I write strictly for fun... as long as it stays fun I'll continue to do it.
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
Fundamentally, I think of myself as a storyteller, not a writer.
Tom Clancy
The good old days are now.
Tom Clancy
Privacy and loneliness were the traditional luxuries accorded to a skipper.
Tom Clancy
I just finished reading the Koran, and there's nothing in there I didn't hear in Sunday school.
