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
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
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
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
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.
Tom Clancy
The Only way to do all the things you'd like to do is to read
Tom Clancy
Speak your dialogue out loud. If it sounds like the way people talk, then write it down.
Tom Clancy
She didn't strike me as a crossword in ink kind of girl
Tom Clancy
Sunday was the normal day for the political awareness session at sea. Ordinarily Putin would have officiated, reading some Pravada editorials, followed by selected quotations from the works of Lenin and a discussion of the lessons to be learned from the readings. It is very much like a church service.
Tom Clancy
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
The human condition today is better than it's ever been, and technology is one of the reasons for that.
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
To Ronald Wilson Regan, The Fortieth President of The United States: The Man Who Won The War.
Tom Clancy
The tactics...no, amateurs discuss tactics,.... Professional soldiers study logistics.
Tom Clancy
I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.
Tom Clancy
Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.
Tom Clancy
Wars are begun by frightened men.
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
Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.
Tom Clancy
There are two kinds of people: the ones who need to be told and the ones who figure it out all by themselves.
Tom Clancy
