I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.

More quotes by Freeman Dyson
Science and religion are, of course, two different ways of looking at the universe and it's the same universe with two different windows.
Freeman Dyson
The thing that makes me most optimistic is China and India - both of them doing well.
Freeman Dyson
When the great innovation appears, it will almost certainly be in muddled, incomplete and confusing form. ... For any speculation which does not at first glance look crazy, there is no hope.
Freeman Dyson
I think the fact that Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World and talked about anthrax bombs probably helped because at least we... people had the understanding before the war began that's something we didn't want to get into.
Freeman Dyson
In religion, you're supposed to be somehow in touch with something deep and full of mysteries.
Freeman Dyson
Progress in science is often built on wrong theories that are later corrected. It is better to be wrong than to be vague.
Freeman Dyson
Successful technologies often begin as hobbies. Jacques Cousteau invented scuba diving because he enjoyed exploring caves. The Wright brothers invented flying as a relief from the monotony of their normal business of selling and repairing bicycles.
Freeman Dyson
We do not need to have an agreed set of goals before we do something ambitious!
Freeman Dyson
Nothing is boring if you look at carefully.
Freeman Dyson
I mean science was blamed for all the horrors of World War I, just as it's blamed today for nuclear weapons and quite rightly.
Freeman Dyson
The pain of childbirth is not remembered. It's the child that's remembered.
Freeman Dyson
All stable processes we shall predict. All unstable processes we shall control. Describing John von Neumann's aspiration for the application of computers sufficiently large to solve the problems of meteorology, despite the sensitivity of the weather to small perturbations.
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
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.
Freeman Dyson
The media always tries to make everything into a disaster, but it's mostly rubbish.
Freeman Dyson
Ethical progress is the only cure for the damage done by scientific progress.
Freeman Dyson
It is in the long run essential to the growth of any new and high civilization that small groups of men can escape from their neighbors and from their government, to go and live as they please in the wilderness. A truly isolated, small, and creative society will never again be possible on this planet.
Freeman Dyson
I think we're doing pretty well. It's clear the media, of course, always gives you the bad news.
Freeman Dyson
The world is just - it's wonderful when you look at all the detail. It's just amazing.
Freeman Dyson
There are two different ways of looking at the universe and it's the same universe with two different windows. The science window gives you a view of the world, and the religion window gives you a totally different view. You can't look at both of them at the same time, but they're both true.
Freeman Dyson
