Almost everyone who has had an idea that's somewhat revolutionary or wildly successful was first told they're insane.
Larry Page
If you say you want to automate cars and save people's lives, the skills you need for that aren't taught in any particular discipline. I know - I was interested in working on automating cars when I was a Ph.D. student in 1995.
Larry Page
You need to invent things and you need to get them to people. You need to commercialize those inventions. Obviously, the best way we've come up with doing that is through companies.
Larry Page
We really care about our brand. We really want it to stand for high quality. We want people to be excited about it, for it to be fun.
Larry Page
We try to, when you come to Google, fulfill that need that you have as quickly as possible.

Especially in technology, we need revolutionary change, not incremental change.
Larry Page

Larry Page
Big companies have always needed and cooperated in areas where it made sense.
Larry Page
We are excited about Internet access in general. With better access to the Internet, people do more searches.
Larry Page
Excellence matters, and technology advances so fast that the potential for improvement is tremendous. So, since becoming CEO again, I've pushed hard to increase our velocity, improve our execution, and focus on the big bets that will make a difference in the world.
Larry Page
People are starving in the world, not because we don't have enough food, but because we're not organized. And computers are part of that.
Larry Page
You can be serious without a suit
Larry Page
Part of our brand is that we're pretty understated in what we do. If you look at other technology companies, they might preannounce things, and it will be a couple years before they really happen, and they don't happen in the way they said they would.
Larry Page
Most of us carry at least one device, all the time, every day. In fact many of us would feel naked without our smartphone. It's hardly surprising mobile search queries - and mobile commerce - are growing dramatically across the world.
Larry Page
It is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. ... Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition.
Larry Page
I feel like my job as CEO is always to be pushing people ahead.
Larry Page
The amazing thing is that we're part of people's daily lives, like brushing their teeth. It's just something they do throughout the day while working, buying things, deciding what to do after work and much more. Google has been accepted as part of people's lives.
Larry Page
The Star Trek computer doesn't seem that interesting. They ask it random questions, it thinks for a while. I think we can do better than that.
Larry Page
You can try to control people, or you can try to have a system that represents reality. I find that knowing what's really happening is more important than trying to control people.
Larry Page
We should be focusing on building things that do not exist.
