More quotes by Tom Clancy
In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them. They tried to classify everything.
Tom Clancy
Privacy and loneliness were the traditional luxuries accorded to a skipper.
Tom Clancy
The smaller the mind, the greater the ego.
Tom Clancy
Civilians listened to officers, which said a lot about the intelligence of civilians.
Tom Clancy
I write strictly for fun... as long as it stays fun I'll continue to do it.
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
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
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
Wars are begun by frightened men.
Tom Clancy
A lawyer is just like an attack dog, only without a conscience.
Tom Clancy
Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.
Tom Clancy
The good old days are now.
Tom Clancy
Fundamentally, I think of myself as a storyteller, not a writer.
Tom Clancy
Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.
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 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
Learn to write the same way you learn to play golf. You do it and keep doing it until you get it right.
Tom Clancy
There is more to military units than hardware. There is the character of the unit's personnel: their strengths, experience, and knowledge, their ability to get along and work together amid the horrors of the battlefield. There is an almost undefinable quality. That quality is the Marine Corps' secret weapon. Their edge. That quality is their ethos.
Tom Clancy
Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.
Tom Clancy
It was one thing to use computers as a tool, quite another to let them do your thinking for you.
Tom Clancy
