Let the pain scream! From the whisper of longing
A sick heart beats to pieces!
When you open your mouth, it immediately becomes clear how important it is for a person to get an education.

Malcolm: Look, it's very strange. I measured the speed of the oscillation, it was 15 Malcolms per second!
Doctor: 15 what?
Malcolm: 15 Malcolms. This is my little term. The wavelength is 10 kilohertz. In four dimensions it is equal to one Malcolm.
Doctor (after a pause): Did you name a unit of measurement after yourself?
Malcolm: Watt doesn't care. Also, 100 Malcolms equals 1 Bernard.
Doctor: Who is it? Your father?
Melcolm: Don't be ridiculous! It's a unit of mass!
Doctor: Yes, great... But before I die of old age (which in my case would be even the greatest achievement, congratulations), is there anyone else who can talk to me?

If I have to be a girl, then I will choose my own clothes.
Pull up your skirt, otherwise you can see everything that you don’t need to see.
- Do not teach me.
In our society, oversaturated with information, almost no one thinks with his own head. We should brush aside unnecessary papers, but we brush aside thoughts.
We exist on the planet for one brief moment, and if tomorrow we all disappear, the planet will not even notice it.

I really value my life and my time and do not want to waste it thinking about clothes. I don't want to think every day about what to wear the next morning. And in general, in my opinion, there is nothing more boring than fashion in the world. Except professional sports. Just think - adults play ball with each other, and the rest of the world pays big money to applaud them. But in general, fashion is even more boring than sports. And more tiring.

Do you know what's wrong with modern science? It looks like a huge wealth that was inherited by some stupid incompetent.
Michael Crichton. Jurassic Park
Scientists have carefully piled up a huge pile of all sorts of dog shit just to explain how and why they seek to comprehend the "laws of nature." All this is plausible in appearance, but in fact they are driven by something completely different. No one will try for the sake of such a meaningless abstraction as "the search for truth." In fact, scientists are always striving for some kind of achievement. They only think about whether they will be able to accomplish something. And for some reason they never think - is it worth doing this “something” at all?

Life is an endless sequence of accidents, each of which can affect the next completely unexpectedly, unpredictably, and sometimes disastrously.

Mathematics requires more and more courage to accept the results of its application.
Michael Crichton. Jurassic Park
Scientists can't help it. They need to leave their marks on everything they touch. They cannot simply understand phenomena and appreciate them. They cannot simply accept the laws of nature and follow them. They definitely need to do something unnatural! Such is the fate of scientists, and now we have entire human communities trying to be scientists ...
Michael Crichton. Jurassic Park
The whole history of evolution is a description of how different life forms overcame all sorts of limitations. Life is constantly breaking free. Life is expanding into new territories. This is not painless, sometimes even at the risk of life itself - but still, life somehow finds a way to achieve its goal.
Jan Malcolm
Shot from the movie "Jurassic Park"
Those who have read the book about the failed attempt to commission an amusement park with cloned prehistoric lizards know that Dr. Ian Malcolm did not survive the finale. According to the plot, a mathematician thrown into the air by a tyrannosaurus rex broke his leg and later died due to blood poisoning - but when Jeff Goldblum was hired for this role in the film, director Steven Spielberg was so captured by the actor's charisma that he offered Crichton, who helped write the script, to save Malcolm. Crichton agreed. This decision influenced his creative plans: in The Lost World, the next dinosaur novel, Michael resurrected a mathematician, making him a central character and rewarding him with a limp. In the book, Malcolm walks with a cane and tells everyone that the rumors about his death were "greatly exaggerated": although he really almost died, skillful Puerto Rican surgeons managed to save him, and now everything is in order. It is interesting that David Morrell did a similar feint after the release of First Blood: in the first book, Rambo dies, but in the second, written after the success of the film of the same name, he is alive again. Someone, of course, may not like that the cinema is capable of retroactively influencing the continuation of famous books in this way. On the other hand, it is obvious that if it were not for the cinema, then there would be no sequels.
