Michael Crichton
The system didn't screw you. The system revealed you.

Sneaking up on it sometimes helps: I've found I can be very productive for an hour before dinner, because there obviously isn't enough time to really do anything, so I can tell myself I'm just screwing around.
Michael Crichton

Michael Crichton
Reality is always greater - much greater - than what we know, than whatever we can say about it.
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
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
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
Welcome...to Jurassic Park!
Michael Crichton
Men under stress are fools, and fool themselves.
Michael Crichton
The minute we look, we cease being afraid.
Michael Crichton
Although personally, I think cyberspace means the end of our species.
Michael Crichton
Safety is the last refuge of the scoundrel!
