More quotes by 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.
Michael Crichton
The American media produce a product of very poor quality. Its information is not reliable, it has too much chrome and glitz, its doors rattle, it breaks down almost immediately, and it's sold without warranty. It's flashy, but it's basically junk.
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
Caring is irrelevant. Desire to do good is irrelevant. All that counts is knowledge and results

Michael Crichton
Discovery is always rape of the natural world. Always.
Michael Crichton

Michael Crichton
You know, at times like this one feels, well, perhaps extinct animals should be left extinct.
Michael Crichton
Exercise invigorates the body and sharpens the mind.
Michael Crichton
In truth, one of our company, the solemn warrior Ecthgow, was so demented from liquor that he was drunk while still upon his horse, and he fell attempting to dismount. Now the horse kicked him in the head, and I feared for his safety, but Ecthgow laughed and kicked the horse back.
Michael Crichton
There isn't any delusion. It is absolutely clear that this body energy is a genuine phenomenon of some kind.
Michael Crichton
Sometimes women scare the hell out of me.
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
To apply general tools to specific problems is to fail.
Michael Crichton
Men under stress are fools, and fool themselves.
Michael Crichton
Keep working. Don't wait for inspiration. Work inspires inspiration. Keep working.
Michael Crichton
They always say they didn't. I never heard of one who said, 'You know, I deserve this.' Never happens.
Michael Crichton
