More quotes by Michael Crichton
The minute we look, we cease being afraid.
Michael Crichton
Praise not the day until evening has come, a woman until she is burnt, a sword until it is tried, a maiden until she is married, ice until it has been crossed, beer until it has been drunk.
Michael Crichton
If true computer music were ever written, it would only be listened to by other computers.
Michael Crichton
At the edge of chaos, unexpected outcomes occur. The risk to survival is severe.
Michael Crichton
The rules of grammar exist in large part to permit readers and writers to operate from a shared set of expectations.
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
In order not to be misunderstood, I want it perfectly clear that I believe it is incumbent on us to conduct our lives in a way that takes into account all the consequences of our actions, including the consequences to other people, and the consequences to the environment.
Michael Crichton
Geniuses never pay attention.
Michael Crichton
We think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so. We never seem to acknowledge that we have been wrong in the past, and so might be wrong in the future. Instead, each generation writes off earlier errors as the result of bad thinking by less able minds - and then confidently embarks on fresh errors of its own.
Michael Crichton
I tended to faint when I saw accident victims in the emergency ward, during surgery, or while drawing blood.
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
Science is the business of generating testable hypotheses.
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 think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so.
Michael Crichton
It is especially difficult for modern people to conceive that our modern, scientific age might not be an improvement over the prescientific period.
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
Keep working. Don't wait for inspiration. Work inspires inspiration. Keep working.
Michael Crichton
Nobody is driven by abstractions like 'seeking truth.
Michael Crichton
One of the most difficult things for a writer in this business to accept is the uncertain fate of one's work.
Michael Crichton
