Jurassic Park Man and the Natural World Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Jurassic Park.

Quote #1

DR. ALAN GRANT: They're moving in herds. They do move in herds.

Many prehistoric traits can only be hypothesized by archaeologists and scientists. Did dinosaurs have feathers? Were they warm-blooded? Who knows? While it is believed that many dinosaurs moved in herd groups, Alan Grant can only confirm it in Jurassic Park—where he can see the dinosaurs live in their natural habitat.

Quote #2

DR. HENRY WU: There's no unauthorized breeding in Jurassic Park.

Yeah, right. Try as they might to thwart nature, the scientists at Jurassic Park ultimately fail.

Quote #3

DR. IAN MALCOLM: What's so great about discovery? It's a violent penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.

Ian Malcolm makes a good point here: The scientists of Jurassic Park didn't stumble across a live dinosaur; they created them. What they're doing is against nature and just might destroy it—and them—in the process.
