All MICHAEL CRICHTON Quotes about “Expectations”

“Expectation works in mysterious ways---and totally unconsciously.”

“The rules of grammar exist in large part to permit readers and writers to operate from a shared set of expectations.”
“The notion that the natural world obeys its own rules and doesn't give a damn about your expectations comes as a massive shock. But the natural world is not so malleable. On the contrary, it will demand that you adapt to it - and if you don't, you die.”
“One of the most difficult features of direct experience is that it is unfiltered by any theories or expectations. It's hard to observe without imposing a theory to explain what we're seeing, but the trouble with theories, as Einstein said, is that they explain not only what is observed, but what can be observed. We start to build expectations based on our theories.”
