More quotes by Freeman Dyson

Freeman Dyson
The idea that God may be approached and understood through intellectual analysis is uniquely Christian... It is probably not an accident that modern science grew explosively in Christian Europe and left the rest of the world behind.
Freeman Dyson
You could say science also is an art.
Freeman Dyson
I have the freedom to do what I want... bright people to talk to every day.
Freeman Dyson
Mind and intelligence are woven into the fabric of our universe in a way that altogether surpasses our understanding.
Freeman Dyson
The pain of childbirth is not remembered. It's the child that's remembered.
Freeman Dyson
The ground of science was littered with the corpses of dead unified theories.
Freeman Dyson
