More quotes by Michael Crichton
And entertainment has nothing to do with reality. Entertainment is antithetical to reality.
Michael Crichton
In science, the old men are usually wrong. But in politics, the old men are wise, counsel caution, and in the end are often right.
Michael Crichton
Nobody wants to feel they're not a rebel.
Michael Crichton
The fact that the patients were complex human beings with a rich life beyond the hospital never really sank into the consciousness of the residents. Because they had no rich lives beyond the hospital, they assumed no one else did, either. In the end, what they lacked was not medical knowledge but ordinary life experience.
Michael Crichton
And that's how things are. A day is like a whole life. You start out doing one thing, but end up doing something else, plan to run an errand, but never get there. . . . And at the end of your life, your whole existence has the same haphazard quality, too. Your whole life has the same shape as a single day.
Michael Crichton
Auschwitz exists because of politicized science.
Michael Crichton
One may even suspect that there is more to reality than measurements will ever reveal.
Michael Crichton
To give up responsibility for our lives is not healthy.
Michael Crichton
It's hard to decide who's truly brilliant it's easier to see who's driven, which in the long run may be more important.
Michael Crichton
Science is the business of generating testable hypotheses.
Michael Crichton
Discovery is always rape of the natural world. Always.
Michael Crichton
In order not to be misunderstood, I want it perfectly clear that I believe it is incumbent on us to conduct our lives in a way that takes into account all the consequences of our actions, including the consequences to other people, and the consequences to the environment.
Michael Crichton
We think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so. We never seem to acknowledge that we have been wrong in the past, and so might be wrong in the future. Instead, each generation writes off earlier errors as the result of bad thinking by less able minds - and then confidently embarks on fresh errors of its own.
Michael Crichton
You can answer your own question. You already know the answer, if you can just gain access to it.
Michael Crichton
This fascination with computer models is something I understand very well. Richard Feynmann called it a disease. I fear he is right.
Michael Crichton
Welcome...to Jurassic Park!
Michael Crichton
We think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so.
Michael Crichton
Power is neither male or female.
Michael Crichton
...scientific power is like inherited wealth: attained without discipline. You read what others have done, and you take the next step. You can do it very young...there is no mastery, old scientists are ignored. There is no humility before nature...Its a form of inherited wealth. And you know what assholes congenitally rich people are.
Michael Crichton
We cause our diseases. We are directly responsible for any illness that happens to us.
Michael Crichton
