Freeman Dyson
Humanity looks to me like a magnificent beginning but not the final word.
Freeman Dyson
Science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.
Freeman Dyson
All the time worrying about pushing the children and getting them to be mathematically literate and all that stuff. It's terribly hard on the kids. It's also hard on the teachers. And I think it's totally useless.
Freeman Dyson
The world is just - it's wonderful when you look at all the detail. It's just amazing.
Freeman Dyson
The only way to improve the chances for finding winners is to keep all the choices open and try them all.

Freeman Dyson

Freeman Dyson

Freeman Dyson
There is a great satisfaction in building good tools for other people to use.
Freeman Dyson
I like people who are working on practical things and who are working in teams. It's not so important to get the glory. It's much more important to get something that works. It's a better way to live.
Freeman Dyson
No matter how far we go into the future, there will always be new things happening, new information coming in, new worlds to explore, a constantly expanding domain of life, consciousness, and memory.
Freeman Dyson
The seeds from Ramanujan's garden have been blowing on the wind and have been sprouting all over the landscape. [On the stimulating effects of Ramanujan's mathematical legacy.]
Freeman Dyson
Some of my friends like to keep science and religion together, but I certainly like to keep them separate.
Freeman Dyson
I think it's a big mistake to decide too soon what you're going to do with your life.
Freeman Dyson
I think science and religion should be separate.
Freeman Dyson
