Discovery is always rape of the natural world. Always.

In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results.

Increasingly, the mathematics will demand the courage to face its implications.
Michael Crichton

The fact that the patients were complex human beings with a rich life beyond the hospital never really sank into the consciousness of the residents. Because they had no rich lives beyond the hospital, they assumed no one else did, either. In the end, what they lacked was not medical knowledge but ordinary life experience.
Michael Crichton

And that's how things are. A day is like a whole life. You start out doing one thing, but end up doing something else, plan to run an errand, but never get there. . . . And at the end of your life, your whole existence has the same haphazard quality, too. Your whole life has the same shape as a single day.

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.

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

In other centuries, human beings wanted to be saved, or improved, or freed, or educated. But in our century, they want to be entertained. The great fear is not of disease or death, but of boredom. A sense of time on our hands, a sense of nothing to do. A sense that we are not amused.

The minute we look, we cease being afraid.
Michael Crichton
Image
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

We cause our diseases. We are directly responsible for any illness that happens to us.
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

We think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so.
Michael Crichton
Image
There isn't any delusion. It is absolutely clear that this body energy is a genuine phenomenon of some kind.
Michael Crichton
Image
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.

Science can't tell you why anything happens.
Michael Crichton
Image
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.

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.
