More quotes by 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
When I sit down in front of a Windows machine, I can't write when I sit down in front of my Mac, I can write. So I only use Macs.
Michael Crichton
That's human nature. Nobody does anything until it's too late.
Michael Crichton
In other centuries, human beings wanted to be saved, or improved, or freed, or educated. But in our century, they want to be entertained. The great fear is not of disease or death, but of boredom. A sense of time on our hands, a sense of nothing to do. A sense that we are not amused.
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
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

Michael Crichton
When I get sick, I go to my doctor like everyone else. A doctor has powerful tools that may help me. Or those tools may hurt me, make me worse. I have to decide. It's my life. It's my responsibility.
Michael Crichton

Michael Crichton

It never occurred to them that plants were actually living things, busily performing all the living functions of respiration, ingestion, excretion, reproduction---and defense.
Michael Crichton
Sometimes women scare the hell out of me.
Michael Crichton
We cause our diseases. We are directly responsible for any illness that happens to us.
Michael Crichton
Environmentalism has already killed somewhere between 10-30 million people since the 1970s.
Michael Crichton
Nobody wants to feel they're not a rebel.
Michael Crichton
Geniuses never pay attention.
Michael Crichton
Scientific research was much like prospecting: you went out and you hunted, armed with your maps and instruments, but in the ened your preparations did not matter, or even your intuition. You needed your luck, and whatever benefits accrued to the diligent, through sheer, grinding hard work.
Michael Crichton
Increasingly, people perceive no difference between the narcissistic self-serving reporters asking questions, and the narcissistic self-serving politicians who evade them.
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
Power is neither male or female.
