More quotes by Michael Crichton

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
That's human nature. Nobody does anything until it's too late.
Michael Crichton
Sometimes women scare the hell out of me.
Michael Crichton
If true computer music were ever written, it would only be listened to by other computers.
Michael Crichton
I want a news service that tells me what no one knows but is true nonetheless.
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
People were so naive about plants, Ellie thought. They just chose plants for appearance, as they would choose a picture for the wall. It never occurred to them that plants were actually living things, busily performing all the living functions of respiration, ingestion, excretion, reproduction---and defense.
Michael Crichton
Books aren't written - they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it.
