The Only way to do all the things you'd like to do is to read
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
Success will ruin your life.
Tom Clancy
Every person you meet - and everything you do in life - is an opportunity to learn something.
Tom Clancy
I just finished reading the Koran, and there's nothing in there I didn't hear in Sunday school.
Tom Clancy
Bill Clinton is a man who thinks international affairs means dating a girl from out of town.
Tom Clancy
I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.
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
Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change about you, but your dream will not. It will always be your link with the person, young and full of hope. If you hold on to it you may grow old but you will never be old. And that is the ultimate success
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
Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.
Tom Clancy
I wanted to see my name on the cover of a book. If your name is in the Library of Congress, you're immortal.
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
The point of life was to press on, to do the best you can, to make the world a better place.
Tom Clancy
Collaboration on a book is the ultimate unnatural act.
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
When you have stopped learning you have begun to die.
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
That's the ultimate pornography. There's nothing more pornographic than glorifying war.
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
