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
A lawyer is just like an attack dog, only without a conscience.
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
Remember, for every shot you fire, someone, somewhere, is making money.
Tom Clancy
Privacy and loneliness were the traditional luxuries accorded to a skipper.
Tom Clancy
When you have stopped learning you have begun to die.
Tom Clancy
Two questions form the foundation of all novels: What if? and What next? (A third question, What now?, is one the author asks himself every 10 minutes or so but it's more a cry than a question.) Every novel begins with the speculative question, What if X happened? That's how you start.
Tom Clancy
Once you stop believing in Santa Claus, the whole world just goes downhill.
Tom Clancy
Liberation and equal-rights issues notwithstanding, it was a man's job to make a woman feel cherished and respected.
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
Collaboration on a book is the ultimate unnatural act.
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
One thing about flying that he never got used to was that no matter how awful the weather was on the ground, if you flew high enough you could always find the sun.
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
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
Life is about learning when you stop learning, you die.
Tom Clancy
Ice hockey is the closest thing to religion permitted by the Soviet Union.
Tom Clancy
The smaller the mind, the greater the ego.
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
Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.
Tom Clancy
