"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 Web took off in all its glory because it was a royalty-free infrastructure . . . When I invented the Web, I didn't have to ask anyone's permission. Now, hundreds of millions of people are using it freely. I am worried that that is going to end in the U.S.A. If we had a situation in which the U.S. had serious flaws in its Net Neutrality, and Europe did have Net Neutrality, and I were trying to start a company, then I would be very tempted to move."

"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."
