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

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.

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

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.

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.

The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.

The Web does not just connect machines, it connects people.

When one studies strongly radioactive substances special precautions must be taken. Dust, the air of the room, and one's clothes, all become radioactive.

The various reasons which we have enumerated lead us to believe that the new radio-active substance contains a new element which we propose to give the name of radium.
