More quotes by Michael Crichton
Although personally, I think cyberspace means the end of our species.
Michael Crichton
Discovery is always rape of the natural world. Always.
Michael Crichton
Men under stress are fools, and fool themselves.
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
We cause our diseases. We are directly responsible for any illness that happens to us.
Michael Crichton
Most areas of intellectual life have discovered the virtues of speculation, and have embraced them wildly. In academia, speculation is usually dignified as theory.
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
Science is the business of generating testable hypotheses.
Michael Crichton
If you gamble long enough, you'll always lose -- the gambler is always ruined.
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
...scientific power is like inherited wealth: attained without discipline. You read what others have done, and you take the next step. You can do it very young...there is no mastery, old scientists are ignored. There is no humility before nature...Its a form of inherited wealth. And you know what assholes congenitally rich people are.
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
That's human nature. Nobody does anything until it's too late.
Michael Crichton
Power is neither male or female.
Michael Crichton
Geniuses never pay attention.
Michael Crichton
The system didn't screw you. The system revealed you.
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
I tended to faint when I saw accident victims in the emergency ward, during surgery, or while drawing blood.
Michael Crichton
You know what's wrong with scientific power? It's a form of inherited wealth. And you know what assholes congenitally rich people are.
Michael Crichton
Sometimes women scare the hell out of me.
