More quotes by Michael Crichton
Reality is always greater - much greater - than what we know, than whatever we can say about it.
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 a kind of glorified tailoring enterprise, a method for taking measurements that describe something ? reality ? that may not be understood at all.
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
People were so naive about plants, Ellie thought. They just chose plants for appearance, as they would choose a picture for the wall. It never occurred to them that plants were actually living things, busily performing all the living functions of respiration, ingestion, excretion, reproduction---and defense.
Michael Crichton
You can answer your own question. You already know the answer, if you can just gain access to it.
Michael Crichton
It's better to die laughing than to live each moment in fear.
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
Because the history of evolution is that life escapes all barriers. Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way.
Michael Crichton
The doctor is not a miracle worker who can magically save us but, rather, an expert adviser who can assist us in our own recovery.
Michael Crichton
Men under stress are fools, and fool themselves.
Michael Crichton
One of the most difficult things for a writer in this business to accept is the uncertain fate of one's work.
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
Geniuses never pay attention.
Michael Crichton
Books aren't written - they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it.
Michael Crichton
Good novels are not written, they're rewritten!
Michael Crichton
Caring is irrelevant. Desire to do good is irrelevant. All that counts is knowledge and results
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
