If you don't write the book, the book ain't gonna get written.
Tom Clancy
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.
Tom Clancy
Image
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

It was one thing to use computers as a tool, quite another to let them do your thinking for you.
Tom Clancy
Image
Washington D.C. is about 300 square miles surrounded by realty.

Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.

Ice hockey is the closest thing to religion permitted by the Soviet Union.

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 are two kinds of people: the ones who need to be told and the ones who figure it out all by themselves.
Tom Clancy

Literature is written material that, 100 years after the death of the author, is forced upon high school students.
Tom Clancy
Image
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.
