More quotes by Michael Crichton
To apply general tools to specific problems is to fail.
Michael Crichton
Because the history of evolution is that life escapes all barriers. Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way.
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
We are all assumed, these days, to reside at one extreme of the opinion spectrum, or another. We are pro-abortion or anti-abortion. We are free traders or protectionists. We are pro-private sector or pro-government. We are feminists or chauvinists. But in the real world, few of us hold these extreme views. There is instead a spectrum of opinion.
Michael Crichton
It's not easy to cut through a human head with a hacksaw.
Michael Crichton
Reality is always greater - much greater - than what we know, than whatever we can say about it.
Michael Crichton
Working inspires inspiration. Keep working. If you succeed, keep working. If you fail, keep working. If you are interested, keep working. If you are bored, keep working.
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
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
Science can't tell you why anything happens.
Michael Crichton
The best doctors found a middle position where they were neither overwhelmed by their feelings nor estranged from them. That was the most difficult position of all, and the precise balance - neither too detached nor too caring - was something few learned.
Michael Crichton
They didn't understand what they were doing. I'm afraid that will be on the tombstone of the human race.
Michael Crichton
Exercise invigorates the body and sharpens the mind.
Michael Crichton
Extrapolating from the statistical growth of the legal profession, by the year 2035 every single person in the United States will be a lawyer, including newborn infants.
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
Cut off from direct experience, cut off from our own feelings and sometimes our own sensations, we are only too ready to adopt a viewpoint or perspective that is handed to us, and is not our own.
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
A man can see by starlight, if he takes the time.
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
If you don't know history, then you don't know anything. You are a leaf that doesn't know it is part of a tree.
Michael Crichton
