More quotes by Freeman Dyson
If you don't have a nasty obituary you probably didn't matter.
Freeman Dyson
To give us room to explore the varieties of mind and body into which our genome can evolve, one planet is not enough.
Freeman Dyson
If you're in the business world, that's what's expected: You should go bust and then start again on something else. So it's a much more relaxed kind of a culture. It's also competitive, but not in such a vicious way. I think the academic world is actually much more destructive of young people.
Freeman Dyson
We cannot hope to either understand or to manage the carbon in the atmosphere unless we understand and manage the trees and the soil too.
Freeman Dyson
I am hoping that the scientists and politicians who have been blindly demonizing carbon dioxide for 37 years will one day open their eyes and look at the evidence.
Freeman Dyson
It is better to be wrong than to be vague.
Freeman Dyson
That's the beautiful thing about science - that it's all about things we don't understand, not just the things we do understand.
Freeman Dyson
That's what I learned from World War II. Things are always more complicated than most people believe.
Freeman Dyson
Thanks to the discoveries of astronomers in the twentieth century, we now know that the heat death is a myth. The heat death can never happen, and there is no paradox.
Freeman Dyson
Technology must be guided and driven by ethics if it is to do more than provide new toys for the rich.
Freeman Dyson
That was the wonderful thing about Ramanujan. He discovered so much, and yet he left so much more in his garden for other people to discover.
Freeman Dyson
The purpose of thinking about the future is not to predict it but to raise people's hopes.
Freeman Dyson
I think that what the machines can do, of course, is wonderful, but it's not the same as what the brain can do.
Freeman Dyson
I think it's a big mistake to decide too soon what you're going to do with your life.
Freeman Dyson
We do not need to have an agreed set of goals before we do something ambitious!
Freeman Dyson
Younger people have so many opportunities. I don't see any pessimism among them.
Freeman Dyson
People who travel in China tell me that the mood there is still very upbeat, because their media is different from our media. Chinese media emphasize how well things are going and suppress the bad news and publish the good news.
Freeman Dyson
Aviation is the branch of engineering that is least forgiving of mistakes.
Freeman Dyson
Boiled down to one sentence, my message is the unboundedness of life and the unboundedness of human destiny.
Freeman Dyson
It is our task, both in science and in society at large, to prove the conventional wisdom wrong and to make our unpredictable dreams come true
Freeman Dyson
