I loved this man-this ebullient, mischievous personality, thinker! And his writing, his prose! Humankind has been lucky to have a legacy of his books, lectures, scientific papers, and Dysonisms...A peaceful journey to you Freeman!

Dyson was truly an extraordinary human being and a most brilliant scientist. Above all, he always strived to see the good in people and the hopeful side of life. Thank you for all the humanity and the visionary knowledge that you passed our way, Prof. Dyson.

"Maybe the quantum and relativity shouldn't be combined. There are two aspects to reality" - he is amazing to me
