More quotes by Michael Crichton
In science, the old men are usually wrong. But in politics, the old men are wise, counsel caution, and in the end are often right.
Michael Crichton
If you don't know history, then you don't know anything. You are a leaf that doesn't know it is part of a tree.
Michael Crichton
We live in a world of frightful givens. It is given that you will behave like this, given that you will care about that. No one thinks about the givens. Isn't it amazing? In the information society, nobody thinks. We expected to banish paper, but we actually banished thought.
Michael Crichton
Environmentalism has already killed somewhere between 10-30 million people since the 1970s.
Michael Crichton
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.
Michael Crichton
Scientific power is like inherited wealth attained without discipline. You read about what others have done, and you take the next step. You can do it very young. You can make progress very fast.
Michael Crichton
Expectation works in mysterious ways---and totally unconsciously.
Michael Crichton
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
Working inspires inspiration. Keep working. If you succeed, keep working. If you fail, keep working. If you are interested, keep working. If you are bored, keep working.
Michael Crichton
I was raised with the idea that if you're not smart enough to do science you can do politics.
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
The notion that the natural world obeys its own rules and doesn't give a damn about your expectations comes as a massive shock. But the natural world is not so malleable. On the contrary, it will demand that you adapt to it - and if you don't, you die.
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
I believe my life has a value, and i don't want to waste it thinking about clothing. I don't want to think about what i will wear in the morning. Truly, can you imagine anything more boring than fashion?
Michael Crichton
You know, at times like this one feels, well, perhaps extinct animals should be left extinct.
Michael Crichton
Geniuses never pay attention.
Michael Crichton
Good novels are not written, they're rewritten!
Michael Crichton
I want a news service that tells me what no one knows but is true nonetheless.
Michael Crichton
Safety is the last refuge of the scoundrel!
Michael Crichton
If true computer music were ever written, it would only be listened to by other computers.
