More quotes by Tom Clancy
I write strictly for fun... as long as it stays fun I'll continue to do it.
Tom Clancy
She didn't strike me as a crossword in ink kind of girl
Tom Clancy
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
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
Anti-Catholicism is the last respectable prejudice. You can't hate black people anymore, of course, and you can't hate homosexuals anymore, but you can hate all the Catholics you want.
Tom Clancy
My life is a very simple life thank you
Tom Clancy
Whenever somebody comes up with a good idea, there's somebody else who has never had a good idea in his life who stands up and says, Oh, you can't do that...
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
Privacy and loneliness were the traditional luxuries accorded to a skipper.
Tom Clancy
The human condition today is better than it's ever been, and technology is one of the reasons for that.
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
It's not right to say that our loss in Vietnam turned out to be a gain. But lessons were learned. And they were the right lessons.
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
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
I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.
Tom Clancy
The tactics...no, amateurs discuss tactics,.... Professional soldiers study logistics.
Tom Clancy
To Ronald Wilson Regan, The Fortieth President of The United States: The Man Who Won The War.
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
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
Literature is written material that, 100 years after the death of the author, is forced upon high school students.
