George Dyson
“The obsidian flake and the silicon chip are struck by the light of the same campfire that has passed from hand to hand since the human mind began.”
George Dyson, Project Orion: The True Story of the Atomic Spaceship

George Dyson
“When the computers developed, they would take over a good deal of the burden of the politicians, and sooner or later would also take over their power,”
George B. Dyson, Turing's Cathedral: The Origins of the Digital Universe

Aristotle
“Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god. ”
Aristotle, Politics

Immanuel Kant
“Two things fill my mind with ever-increasing wonder and awe, the more often and the more intensely the reflection dwells on them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.”
Immanuel Kant

George Dyson
“Three technological revolutions dawned in 1953: thermonuclear weapons, stored-program computers, and the elucidation of how life stores its own instructions as strings of DNA.”
George Dyson, Turing's Cathedral: The Origins of the Digital Universe
