More quotes by Michael Crichton
They didn't understand what they were doing. I'm afraid that will be on the tombstone of the human race.
Michael Crichton
I was raised with the idea that if you're not smart enough to do science you can do politics.
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
Science is as corruptible a human activity as any other.
Michael Crichton
Personally, I don't deal much in theory. I have to deal with the facts. And on the basis of facts, I don't see much difference in the behavior of men and women.
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
Theories are just fantasies. And they change.
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
When I sit down in front of a Windows machine, I can't write when I sit down in front of my Mac, I can write. So I only use Macs.
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
To give up responsibility for our lives is not healthy.
Michael Crichton
They always say they didn't. I never heard of one who said, 'You know, I deserve this.' Never happens.
Michael Crichton
Although personally, I think cyberspace means the end of our species.
Michael Crichton
Nobody wants to feel they're not a rebel.
Michael Crichton
Safety is the last refuge of the scoundrel!
Michael Crichton
Welcome...to Jurassic Park!
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
A man can see by starlight, if he takes the time.
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
Reality is always greater - much greater - than what we know, than whatever we can say about it.
Michael Crichton
