"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."
