More quotes by Michael Crichton
Whatever it is you seek, you have to put in the time, the practice, the effort. You must give up a lot to get it. It has to be very important to you. And once you have attained it, it is your power. It can't be given away : it resides in you. It is literally the result of your discipline.
Michael Crichton
Let's be clear. The planet is not in jeopardy. We are in jeopardy. We haven't got the power to destroy the planet - or to save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves.
Michael Crichton
We cause our diseases. We are directly responsible for any illness that happens to us.
Michael Crichton
Caring is irrelevant. Desire to do good is irrelevant. All that counts is knowledge and results
Michael Crichton
The people in Hollywood are fabulously stupid.
Michael Crichton
The American media produce a product of very poor quality. Its information is not reliable, it has too much chrome and glitz, its doors rattle, it breaks down almost immediately, and it's sold without warranty. It's flashy, but it's basically junk.
Michael Crichton
In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results.
Michael Crichton
Increasingly, the mathematics will demand the courage to face its implications.
Michael Crichton
Morality must keep up with technology because if a person is faced with the choice of being moral and dead or immoral and alive, they'll choose life everytime.
Michael Crichton
The system didn't screw you. The system revealed you.
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
They don't have intelligence. They have what I call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences.
Michael Crichton
At forty, I was too old to work as a programmer myself anymore writing code is a young person’s job.
Michael Crichton
The minute we look, we cease being afraid.
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
They always say they didn't. I never heard of one who said, 'You know, I deserve this.' Never happens.
Michael Crichton
Keep working. Don't wait for inspiration. Work inspires inspiration. Keep working.
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
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
Safety is the last refuge of the scoundrel!
Michael Crichton
