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
Image
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.

She didn't strike me as a crossword in ink kind of girl
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.

My life is a very simple life thank you
Tom Clancy

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

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

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

Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.
Tom Clancy
Image
The human condition today is better than it's ever been, and technology is one of the reasons for that.
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.
Tom Clancy
Image
In battle, you forgive a man anything except an unwillingness to take risks. Sometimes you have to put it on the line.
Tom Clancy
Image
The tactics...no, amateurs discuss tactics,.... Professional soldiers study logistics.
Tom Clancy
Image
If you don't write the book, the book ain't gonna get written.
Tom Clancy
Image
All field agents have some cowboy in them – even the ones from New York.
Tom Clancy
Image
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
Image
Keep at it! The one talent that's indispensable to a writer is persistence. You must write the book, else there is no book. It will not finish itself. Do not try to commit art. Just tell the damned story.
Tom Clancy
Image
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
Image
The point of life was to press on, to do the best you can, to make the world a better place.
