Power is neither male or female.
Michael Crichton
Exercise invigorates the body and sharpens the mind.
Michael Crichton
Nobody wants to feel they're not a rebel.
Michael Crichton
At the edge of chaos, unexpected outcomes occur. The risk to survival is severe.
Michael Crichton
Science is a kind of glorified tailoring enterprise, a method for taking measurements that describe something ? reality ? that may not be understood at all.
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
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
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
I believe my life has a value, and i don't want to waste it thinking about clothing. I don't want to think about what i will wear in the morning. Truly, can you imagine anything more boring than fashion?
Michael Crichton
God created dinosaurs. God destroyed dinosaurs. God created Man. Man destroyed God. Man created dinosaurs. Dinosaurs eat man...Woman inherits the earth.
Michael Crichton
I was raised with the idea that if you're not smart enough to do science you can do politics.
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
Theories are just fantasies. And they change.
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
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
It's not easy to cut through a human head with a hacksaw.
Michael Crichton
The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.
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
Keep working. Don't wait for inspiration. Work inspires inspiration. Keep working.
Michael Crichton
