I don't believe in the sort of "Eureka!" moment idea. I think it's a myth. I'm very suspicious that actually Archimedes had been thinking about that problem for a long time.

The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

The Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it's managed responsibly.

The goal of the Web is to serve humanity. We build it now so that those who come to it later will be able to create things that we cannot ourselves imagine.

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

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

The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect - to help people work together - and not as a technical toy.

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

I basically wrote the code and the specs and documentation for how the client and server talked to each other.

In '93 to '94, every browser had its own flavor of HTML. So it was very difficult to know what you could put in a Web page and reliably have most of your readership see it.

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

We're here to work, not to make friends,

Venice, it's temples and palaces did seem like fabrics of enchantment piled to heaven.

Each of us is the best we can be when we are fully present, focused yet relaxed, curious yet non-judgmental, committed yet flexible.

I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.

How am I to dress up in my finery, and go off and away to smart parties, after the sorrow I have seen today?

I want to write and direct a movie one day.

There’s too much love in the world. Sometimes I think that’s what heaven is---- a place where everybody’s happy because nobody loves anybody else, ever.

The universe is the mirror in which we can contemplate only what we have learned to know in ourselves

Women are to be valued for so much more than their sexuality. We aren’t merely objects of desire.

A fall from such a height is rarely straight downwards.
