More quotes by Michael Crichton
Reality is always greater - much greater - than what we know, than whatever we can say about it.
Michael Crichton
I am certain there is too much certainty in the world.
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
...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
Theories are just fantasies. And they change.
Michael Crichton

Michael Crichton
Power is neither male or female.
Michael Crichton
Most areas of intellectual life have discovered the virtues of speculation, and have embraced them wildly. In academia, speculation is usually dignified as theory.
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
If you gamble long enough, you'll always lose -- the gambler is always ruined.
Michael Crichton
Men under stress are fools, and fool themselves.
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
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
The minute we look, we cease being afraid.
Michael Crichton
At the edge of chaos, unexpected outcomes occur. The risk to survival is severe.
Michael Crichton
The people in Hollywood are fabulously stupid.
Michael Crichton
Scientific power is like inherited wealth attained without discipline. You read about what others have done, and you take the next step. You can do it very young. You can make progress very fast.
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
We think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so. We never seem to acknowledge that we have been wrong in the past, and so might be wrong in the future. Instead, each generation writes off earlier errors as the result of bad thinking by less able minds - and then confidently embarks on fresh errors of its own.
Michael Crichton
Praise not the day until evening has come, a woman until she is burnt, a sword until it is tried, a maiden until she is married, ice until it has been crossed, beer until it has been drunk.
Michael Crichton
