More quotes by Freeman Dyson
For me, science is just a bunch of tools - it's like playing the violin.
Freeman Dyson
The only way to improve the chances for finding winners is to keep all the choices open and try them all.
Freeman Dyson
Aviation is the branch of engineering that is least forgiving of mistakes.
Freeman Dyson
The pain of childbirth is not remembered. It's the child that's remembered.
Freeman Dyson
That's, of course, the beautiful thing about science - that it's all about things we don't understand, not just the things we do understand.
Freeman Dyson

Freeman Dyson

Freeman Dyson

Freeman Dyson
The reason why new concepts in any branch of science are hard to grasp is always the same contemporary scientists try to picture the new concept in terms of ideas which existed before.
Freeman Dyson
A good cause can become bad if we fight for it with means that are indiscriminately murderous. A bad cause can become good if enough people fight for it in a spirit of comradeship and self-sacrifice. In the end it is how you fight, as much as why you fight, that makes your cause good or bad.
Freeman Dyson

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
Intelligence may indeed be a benign influence creating isolated groups of philosopher-kings far apart in the heavens... On the other hand, intelligence may be a cancer of purposeless technological exploitation, sweeping across a galaxy as irresistibly as it has swept across our own planet.
Freeman Dyson
As finite creatures who think and feel, we can create islands of meaning in the sea of information.
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
We do not need to have an agreed set of goals before we do something ambitious!
Freeman Dyson
It is better to be wrong than to be vague.
Freeman Dyson
The technologies that raise the fewest ethical problems are those that work on a human scale, brightening the lives of individual people.
Freeman Dyson
Boiled down to one sentence, my message is the unboundedness of life and the unboundedness of human destiny.
Freeman Dyson
And somehow mother nature manages to create this incredible biosphere, to create this incredibly rich environment of animals and plants with this amazingly small amount of data.
Freeman Dyson
