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 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.

If you expect nothing but success, then you will be a success.

If giving hurts, then receiving will likely hurt, and you must again ask yourself why you feel or think the way you do.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

'Man up' is a sexist term that should be retired along with all the other gender-based imperious imperatives.

It's not enough to be numbered with the grains of sand on the beach and the stars in the sky.

You don't lose your temper and throw the cat out the door. You don't lose your temper and throw a dish at the dog and make him thing he's going to die.

There is no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals. I never thought that I would fall in love like this with a cat.

I never think about losing.

giving up doesn't always mean your weak sometimes your just strong enough to let go

I think if you're lucky, you start to make music and it gets things out.
