More quotes by Tom Clancy
The first rumors about Zenith came from the Czechoslovakians.
Tom Clancy
Surviving is much more painful than death.
Tom Clancy
Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.
Tom Clancy
The Good of the People was a laudable enough goal, but in denying a man's soul, an enduring part of his being, Marxism stripped away the foundation of human dignity and individual value. It also cast aside the objective measure of justice and ethics which, he decided, was the principal legacy of religion to civilized life.
Tom Clancy
Courage is being the only only one who knows how terrified you are.
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
Wars are begun by frightened men.
Tom Clancy
Back in pre-Revolutionary America cruel and unusual punishment meant the rack and burning at the stake... in more recent rulings it has been taken to mean the absence of cable television and denial of sex-change operations, or just overcrowding in the prisons.
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
Success will ruin your life.
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
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
Every novel begins with the speculative question, What if X happened? That's how you start.
Tom Clancy
Ice hockey is the closest thing to religion permitted by the Soviet Union.
Tom Clancy
Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.
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
Once you stop believing in Santa Claus, the whole world just goes downhill.
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
That's the ultimate pornography. There's nothing more pornographic than glorifying war.
Tom Clancy
