More quotes by Michael Crichton
Safety is the last refuge of the scoundrel!
Michael Crichton
The people in Hollywood are fabulously stupid.
Michael Crichton
Books aren't written - they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it.
Michael Crichton
Having wallowed in a delightful orgy of anti-French sentiment, having deplored and applauded the villains themselves, having relished the foibles of bankers, railwaymen, diplomats, and police, the public was now ready to see its faith restored in the basic soundness of banks, railroads, government, and police.
Michael Crichton
In truth, one of our company, the solemn warrior Ecthgow, was so demented from liquor that he was drunk while still upon his horse, and he fell attempting to dismount. Now the horse kicked him in the head, and I feared for his safety, but Ecthgow laughed and kicked the horse back.
Michael Crichton
It is especially difficult for modern people to conceive that our modern, scientific age might not be an improvement over the prescientific period.
Michael Crichton
Science can't tell you why anything happens.
Michael Crichton
Science is the business of generating testable hypotheses.
Michael Crichton
The doctor is not a miracle worker who can magically save us but, rather, an expert adviser who can assist us in our own recovery.
Michael Crichton
Men under stress are fools, and fool themselves.
Michael Crichton
Harassment is about power---the undue exercise of power by a superior over a subordinate.
Michael Crichton
The system didn't screw you. The system revealed you.
Michael Crichton
The extreme positions of the Crossfire Syndrome require extreme simplification - framing the debate in terms which ignore the real issues.
Michael Crichton
Sometimes I think man needs to feel a special position within nature, and this leads him to believe that he is either specially hated by other animals or specially cherished. Instead of the truth, which is that he's just another animal on the plain. A smart one, but just another animal.
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
In the end, science offers us the only way out of politics. And if we allow science to become politicized, then we are lost. We will enter the Internet version of the dark ages, an era of shifting fears and wild prejudices, transmitted to people who don't know any better.
Michael Crichton
At forty, I was too old to work as a programmer myself anymore writing code is a young person’s job.
Michael Crichton
Nobody wants to feel they're not a rebel.
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
Environmentalism has already killed somewhere between 10-30 million people since the 1970s.
