More quotes by 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
The Only way to do all the things you'd like to do is to read
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
Surviving is much more painful than death.
Tom Clancy
The good old days are now.
Tom Clancy
Courage is being the only only one who knows how terrified you are.
Tom Clancy
Collaboration on a book is the ultimate unnatural act.
Tom Clancy
Success will ruin your life.
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
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
Even true believers had consciences, Too bad.
Tom Clancy
Once you stop believing in Santa Claus, the whole world just goes downhill.
Tom Clancy
Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.
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
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
Ice hockey is the closest thing to religion permitted by the Soviet Union.
Tom Clancy
The human condition today is better than it's ever been, and technology is one of the reasons for that.
Tom Clancy
It was one thing to use computers as a tool, quite another to let them do your thinking for you.
Tom Clancy
Every novel begins with the speculative question, What if X happened? That's how you start.
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
