Michael Crichton Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: October 23, 1942 - November 4, 2008
Birthday: October 23
Death: November 4
Grant knew that people could not imagine geological time. Human life was lived on another scale of time entirely. An apple turned brown in a few minutes. Silverware turned black in a few days. A compost heap decayed in a season. A child grew up in a decade. None of these everyday human experiences prepared people to be able to imagine the meaning of eighty million years - the length of time that had passed since this little animal had died.
