Courage is being the only only one who knows how terrified you are.

If you don't write the book, the book ain't gonna get written.
Tom Clancy
Image
I think about the characters I've created and then I sit down and start typing and see what they will do. There's a lot of subconscious thought that goes on. It amazes me to find out, a few chapters later, why I put someone in a certain place when I did. It's spooky.

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

Every person you meet - and everything you do in life - is an opportunity to learn something.

To Ronald Wilson Regan, The Fortieth President of The United States: The Man Who Won The War.
Tom Clancy
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
It was one thing to use computers as a tool, quite another to let them do your thinking for you.
Tom Clancy
Image
In battle, you forgive a man anything except an unwillingness to take risks. Sometimes you have to put it on the line.
