More quotes by Michael Crichton
The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda.
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
They don't have intelligence. They have what I call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences.
Michael Crichton
Power is neither male or female.
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
Caring is irrelevant. Desire to do good is irrelevant. All that counts is knowledge and results
Michael Crichton
It's not easy to cut through a human head with a hacksaw.
Michael Crichton
To apply general tools to specific problems is to fail.
Michael Crichton
Theories are just fantasies. And they change.
Michael Crichton
To give up responsibility for our lives is not healthy.
Michael Crichton
Safety is the last refuge of the scoundrel!
Michael Crichton
All human behavior has a reason. All behavior is solving a problem.
Michael Crichton
Cut off from direct experience, cut off from our own feelings and sometimes our own sensations, we are only too ready to adopt a viewpoint or perspective that is handed to us, and is not our own.
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
If true computer music were ever written, it would only be listened to by other computers.
Michael Crichton
Scientific research was much like prospecting: you went out and you hunted, armed with your maps and instruments, but in the ened your preparations did not matter, or even your intuition. You needed your luck, and whatever benefits accrued to the diligent, through sheer, grinding hard work.
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
Having wallowed in a delightful orgy of anti-French sentiment, having deplored and applauded the villains themselves, having relished the foibles of bankers, railwaymen, diplomats, and police, the public was now ready to see its faith restored in the basic soundness of banks, railroads, government, and police.
Michael Crichton
The system didn't screw you. The system revealed you.
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
