Michael Crichton
Power is neither male or female.
Michael Crichton
Men under stress are fools, and fool themselves.
Michael Crichton
I tended to faint when I saw accident victims in the emergency ward, during surgery, or while drawing blood.

Michael Crichton

Michael Crichton
Science can't tell you why anything happens.
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
There isn't any delusion. It is absolutely clear that this body energy is a genuine phenomenon of some kind.
Michael Crichton
Good novels are not written, they're rewritten!
Michael Crichton
I think every writer should have tattooed backwards on his forehead, like ambulance on ambulances, the words 'everybody needs an editor.
Michael Crichton
In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results.
Michael Crichton
It's hard to decide who's truly brilliant it's easier to see who's driven, which in the long run may be more important.
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
If you gamble long enough, you'll always lose -- the gambler is always ruined.
