Everything in my life was luck.
Freeman Dyson
Image
For me, science is just a bunch of tools - it's like playing the violin.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Most of the papers which are submitted to the Physical Review are rejected, not because it is impossible to understand them, but because it is possible. Those which are impossible to understand are usually published.

CO2 is so beneficial...it would be crazy to try to reduce it
Freeman Dyson
Image
I think we're doing pretty well. It's clear the media, of course, always gives you the bad news.

Mostly I'm just writing books for the public, and so I try to describe for the public what the choices are, what they might have to expect in the future and so by warning people ahead of time maybe you have an effect.

It's as great a part of the human adventure to invent things as to understand them. John Randall wasn't a great scientist, but he was a great inventor. There's been lots more like him, and it's a shame they don't get Nobel Prizes.

I have the freedom to do what I want... bright people to talk to every day.
Freeman Dyson
Image
If the tools are bad, nature's voice is muffled. If the tools are good, nature will give us a clear answer to a clear question.
Freeman Dyson
Image
The world is just - it's wonderful when you look at all the detail. It's just amazing.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.
Freeman Dyson
Image
I don't know, but I think it's quite possible that the more science you teach kids in school the more it turns them off, so I don't know. I mean you never can tell which way it will go.
Freeman Dyson
Image
New directions in science are launched by new tools much more often than by new concepts. The effect of a concept-driven revolution is to explain old things in new ways. The effect of a tool-driven revolution is to discover new things that have to be explained.

Everything in my life was luck. The key to having an interesting life is to always say yes to anything crazy.

Of course, long-distance running has to do with the fact that we're hunters.

The pain of childbirth is not remembered. It's the child that's remembered.
