More quotes by 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
There is a great satisfaction in building good tools for other people to use.
Freeman Dyson
I think science and religion should be separate.
Freeman Dyson
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.
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
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
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
If women are doing a Ph.D., they have a conflict between raising a family or finishing the degree, which is just at the worst time - between the ages of 25 to 30 or whatever it is. It ruins the five years of their lives.
Freeman Dyson
It's better to get mugged than to live a life of fear.
Freeman Dyson
Scepticism is as important for a good journalist as it is for a good scientist.
Freeman Dyson
As finite creatures who think and feel, we can create islands of meaning in the sea of information.
Freeman Dyson
The thing that makes me most optimistic is China and India - both of them doing well.
Freeman Dyson
Well germ warfare of course exists. There have been on a small scale... There have been, of course, a few people who got killed with anthrax right here in Princeton.
Freeman Dyson
The fact that the climate is getting warmer doesn't scare me at all. There's no reason why one should be scared.
Freeman Dyson
The purpose of thinking about the future is not to predict it but to raise people's hopes.
Freeman Dyson
The world is just - it's wonderful when you look at all the detail. It's just amazing.
Freeman Dyson
CO2 is so beneficial...it would be crazy to try to reduce it
Freeman Dyson
Plasma seems to have the kinds of properties one would like for life. It's somewhat like liquid water--unpredictable and thus able to behave in an enormously complex fashion. It could probably carry as much information as DNA does. It has at least the potential for organizing itself in interesting ways.
Freeman Dyson
The pain of childbirth is not remembered. It's the child that's remembered.
Freeman Dyson
Everything in my life was luck. The key to having an interesting life is to always say yes to anything crazy.
