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.

Science can't tell you why anything happens.
Michael Crichton
Image
The fact that the patients were complex human beings with a rich life beyond the hospital never really sank into the consciousness of the residents. Because they had no rich lives beyond the hospital, they assumed no one else did, either. In the end, what they lacked was not medical knowledge but ordinary life experience.

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.

We need to get environmentalism out of the sphere of religion. We need to stop the mythic fantasies, and we need to stop the doomsday predictions. We need to start doing hard science instead.
Michael Crichton

At forty, I was too old to work as a programmer myself anymore writing code is a young person’s job.
Michael Crichton
Image
I want a news service that tells me what no one knows but is true nonetheless.
Michael Crichton
Image
I eventually realized that direct experience is the most valuable experience I can have. Western man is so surrounded by ideas, so bombarded with opinions, concepts, and information structures of all sorts, that it becomes difficult to experience anything without the intervening filter of these structures.

One may even suspect that there is more to reality than measurements will ever reveal.
Michael Crichton
Image
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
Image
I was raised with the idea that if you're not smart enough to do science you can do politics.
Michael Crichton
Image
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.
