More quotes by Michael Crichton
In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results.
Michael Crichton
Theories are just fantasies. And they change.
Michael Crichton
It's better to die laughing than to live each moment in fear.
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
The minute we look, we cease being afraid.
Michael Crichton
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
Sometimes I look around my living room, and the most real thing in the room is the television. It's bright and vivid, and the rest of my life looks drab. So I turn the damn thing off. That does it every time. Get my life back.
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
Good novels are not written, they're rewritten!
Michael Crichton
You know, at times like this one feels, well, perhaps extinct animals should be left extinct.
Michael Crichton
This fascination with computer models is something I understand very well. Richard Feynmann called it a disease. I fear he is right.
Michael Crichton
Expectation works in mysterious ways---and totally unconsciously.
Michael Crichton
Reality is always greater - much greater - than what we know, than whatever we can say about it.
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
I was raised with the idea that if you're not smart enough to do science you can do politics.
Michael Crichton
Science is the business of generating testable hypotheses.
Michael Crichton
The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.
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
I am certain there is too much certainty in the world.
Michael Crichton
Power is neither male or female.
