More quotes by Michael Crichton
And entertainment has nothing to do with reality. Entertainment is antithetical to reality.
Michael Crichton
That's human nature. Nobody does anything until it's too late.
Michael Crichton
To apply general tools to specific problems is to fail.
Michael Crichton
The notion that the natural world obeys its own rules and doesn't give a damn about your expectations comes as a massive shock. But the natural world is not so malleable. On the contrary, it will demand that you adapt to it - and if you don't, you die.
Michael Crichton
Men under stress are fools, and fool themselves.
Michael Crichton
They don't have intelligence. They have what I call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences.
Michael Crichton

Michael Crichton
Harassment is about power---the undue exercise of power by a superior over a subordinate.
Michael Crichton

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
Safety is the last refuge of the scoundrel!
Michael Crichton
I tended to faint when I saw accident victims in the emergency ward, during surgery, or while drawing blood.
Michael Crichton
Discovery is always rape of the natural world. Always.
Michael Crichton
There isn't any delusion. It is absolutely clear that this body energy is a genuine phenomenon of some kind.
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
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
Reality is always greater - much greater - than what we know, than whatever we can say about it.
Michael Crichton
