Additional quotes by Michael Crichton

"But in theory…"
"When we are dealing with history, theories are worthless," Doniger said with a contemptuous wave. "A theory is only valuable if it has the ability to predict future outcomes. But history is the record of human action—and no theory can predict human action."
