To be a hacker - when I use the term - is somebody who is creative and does wonderful things.

Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.

Cool URIs don't change

The concept of the Web is of universal readership.

It’s the whole cat and mouse game between the readers and writers that makes the web work.

You can’t propose that something be a universal space and at the same time keep control of it.

People keep asking me what I think of it now that it's done. Hence my protest: The Web is not done!

The internet explodes when somebody has the creativity to look at a piece of data that's put there for one reason and realise they can connect it with something else.

The dream behind the Web is of a common information space in which we communicate by sharing information.

The search button on the browser no longer provides an objective search, but a commercial one.

If different cultures connect with each other, they are less likely to want to shoot each other.

I invented the web just because I needed it really because it was so frustrating that it didn't exit.

The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.

Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.

You affect the world by what you browse.

Innovation is serendipity, so you don't know what people will make.

We can't blame the technology when we make mistakes.

We need diversity of thought in the world to face the new challenges.

When you understand things, there's no more magic.
