One may even suspect that there is more to reality than measurements will ever reveal.
Michael Crichton
I think every writer should have tattooed backwards on his forehead, like ambulance on ambulances, the words 'everybody needs an editor.
Michael Crichton
Science is a kind of glorified tailoring enterprise, a method for taking measurements that describe something ? reality ? that may not be understood at all.
Michael Crichton
You know, at times like this one feels, well, perhaps extinct animals should be left extinct.
Michael Crichton
At forty, I was too old to work as a programmer myself anymore writing code is a young person’s job.

We are all assumed, these days, to reside at one extreme of the opinion spectrum, or another. We are pro-abortion or anti-abortion. We are free traders or protectionists. We are pro-private sector or pro-government. We are feminists or chauvinists. But in the real world, few of us hold these extreme views. There is instead a spectrum of opinion.
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
We live in a world of frightful givens. It is given that you will behave like this, given that you will care about that. No one thinks about the givens. Isn't it amazing? In the information society, nobody thinks. We expected to banish paper, but we actually banished thought.
Michael Crichton
Harassment is about power---the undue exercise of power by a superior over a subordinate.
Michael Crichton
All human behavior has a reason. All behavior is solving a problem.
Michael Crichton
The system didn't screw you. The system revealed you.
Michael Crichton
Conventional wisdom is invariably out of date. Because in the time it has taken to become conventional - to become what everyone believes - the world has moved on. Conventional wisdom is a remnant of the past.
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
Men under stress are fools, and fool themselves.
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
In the end, science offers us the only way out of politics. And if we allow science to become politicized, then we are lost. We will enter the Internet version of the dark ages, an era of shifting fears and wild prejudices, transmitted to people who don't know any better.
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
The people in Hollywood are fabulously stupid.
Michael Crichton
To give up responsibility for our lives is not healthy.
