More quotes by Michael Crichton
Sometimes women scare the hell out of me.
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
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
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
At the edge of chaos, unexpected outcomes occur. The risk to survival is severe.
Michael Crichton
The minute we look, we cease being afraid.
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
Whatever it is you seek, you have to put in the time, the practice, the effort. You must give up a lot to get it. It has to be very important to you. And once you have attained it, it is your power. It can't be given away : it resides in you. It is literally the result of your discipline.
Michael Crichton
You know what's wrong with scientific power? It's a form of inherited wealth. And you know what assholes congenitally rich people are.
Michael Crichton
They believed that prediction was just a function of keeping track of things. If you knew enough, you could predict anything. That's been cherished scientific belief since Newton.' And?' Chaos theory throws it right out the window.
Michael Crichton
One of the most difficult things for a writer in this business to accept is the uncertain fate of one's 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
Good novels are not written, they're rewritten!
Michael Crichton
That's human nature. Nobody does anything until it's too late.
Michael Crichton
The rules of grammar exist in large part to permit readers and writers to operate from a shared set of expectations.
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
And entertainment has nothing to do with reality. Entertainment is antithetical to reality.
Michael Crichton
Environmentalism has already killed somewhere between 10-30 million people since the 1970s.
Michael Crichton
Science is as corruptible a human activity as any other.
Michael Crichton
Nobody is driven by abstractions like 'seeking truth.
Michael Crichton
