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.

More quotes by Tom Clancy
Wars are begun by frightened men.
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
Remember, for every shot you fire, someone, somewhere, is making money.
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
Fundamentally, I think of myself as a storyteller, not a writer.
Tom Clancy
I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.
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
Speak your dialogue out loud. If it sounds like the way people talk, then write it down.
Tom Clancy
Bill Clinton is a man who thinks international affairs means dating a girl from out of town.
Tom Clancy
The tactics...no, amateurs discuss tactics,.... Professional soldiers study logistics.
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
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
Even true believers had consciences, Too bad.
Tom Clancy
A lawyer is just like an attack dog, only without a conscience.
Tom Clancy
Once you stop believing in Santa Claus, the whole world just goes downhill.
Tom Clancy
I am a politician which means I am a liar and a crook. When I am not kissing babies I am stealing their lollypops.
Tom Clancy
Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not... Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it... Because the dream is within you. No one can take your dream away.
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
Success will ruin your life.
Tom Clancy
Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.
