When I get sick, I go to my doctor like everyone else. A doctor has powerful tools that may help me. Or those tools may hurt me, make me worse. I have to decide. It's my life. It's my responsibility.

More quotes by Michael Crichton
Morality must keep up with technology because if a person is faced with the choice of being moral and dead or immoral and alive, they'll choose life everytime.
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
I was raised with the idea that if you're not smart enough to do science you can do politics.
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
The extreme positions of the Crossfire Syndrome require extreme simplification - framing the debate in terms which ignore the real issues.
Michael Crichton
Sometimes women scare the hell out of me.

Story of our species...everyone knows it's coming, but not so soon.
Michael Crichton
I am certain there is too much certainty in the world.
Michael Crichton
Welcome...to Jurassic Park!
Michael Crichton
It's better to die laughing than to live each moment in fear.
Michael Crichton
We cause our diseases. We are directly responsible for any illness that happens to us.
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
Keep working. Don't wait for inspiration. Work inspires inspiration. Keep working.
Michael Crichton
Geniuses never pay attention.
Michael Crichton
Reality is always greater - much greater - than what we know, than whatever we can say about it.
Michael Crichton
Science can't tell you why anything happens.
