More quotes by Michael Crichton
When I get sick, I go to my doctor like everyone else. A doctor has powerful tools that may help me. Or those tools may hurt me, make me worse. I have to decide. It's my life. It's my responsibility.
Michael Crichton
Expectation works in mysterious ways---and totally unconsciously.
Michael Crichton
Sometimes I think man needs to feel a special position within nature, and this leads him to believe that he is either specially hated by other animals or specially cherished. Instead of the truth, which is that he's just another animal on the plain. A smart one, but just another animal.
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
Safety is the last refuge of the scoundrel!
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
To apply general tools to specific problems is to fail.
Michael Crichton
If you gamble long enough, you'll always lose -- the gambler is always ruined.

It's not easy to cut through a human head with a hacksaw.
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
Keep working. Don't wait for inspiration. Work inspires inspiration. Keep working.
Michael Crichton
In the end, science offers us the only way out of politics. And if we allow science to become politicized, then we are lost. We will enter the Internet version of the dark ages, an era of shifting fears and wild prejudices, transmitted to people who don't know any better.
Michael Crichton
At the edge of chaos, unexpected outcomes occur. The risk to survival is severe.
Michael Crichton
Science can't tell you why anything happens.
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
This fascination with computer models is something I understand very well. Richard Feynmann called it a disease. I fear he is right.
Michael Crichton
We think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so.
