Michael Crichton
To give up responsibility for our lives is not healthy.
Michael Crichton
Nobody is driven by abstractions like 'seeking truth.
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
In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results.
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

Michael Crichton

Michael Crichton
To apply general tools to specific problems is to fail.
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
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
We are one of only three species on our planet that can claim to be self-aware, yet self-delusion may be a more significant characteristic of our kind.
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
Although personally, I think cyberspace means the end of our species.
