Famous quotes by Tom Clancy:

"Along the way he also learned one or two things about leadership and national security and what our country is all about and what we're trying to do in the world."

"The thing you have to understand about fighter pilots is they never quite grow past the stage of little boys buzzing past girls on their bicycles,"

"My vision for this book and the others in the series is to let people know what kind of commanders we have, ... You don't pick generals off park benches. ... They are experts at what they do and lot of thinking goes into it. And I want to get across to people the intellectual dimension of command, to let people know that it's hard to be a general. And the people we have with general stars on their shoulders are pretty smart and pretty good guys."

"Never ask what sort of computer a guy drives. If he's a Mac user, he'll tell you. If not, why embarrass him?"

"Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed."

"What do I know about sex? I'm a married man"

"I've made up stuff that's turned out to be real, that's the spooky part."

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

"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 it away."

"The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense."

"Show me an elitist, and I'll show you a loser."

"Collaboration on a book is the ultimate unnatural act."

"I was one of the first generations to watch television. TV exposes people to news, to information, to knowledge, to entertainment. How is it bad?"

"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."

"Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly."

"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."

"In battle, you forgive a man anything except an unwillingness to take risks. Sometimes you have to put it on the line."

"There was a time when nails were high-tech. There was a time when people had to be told how to use a telephone. Technology is just a tool. People use tools to improve their lives."

"People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives, have more knowledge, more information. All this is the result of communications technology. How is any of that bad?"

"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."
