You never lose a dream, it just incubates as a hobby.

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
Image
We try to, when you come to Google, fulfill that need that you have as quickly as possible.
Larry Page
Image
Every story I read about Google is about us vs some other company, or something else, and I really don't find that interesting. We should be building great things that don't exist. Being negative is not how we make progress.

Find the leverage in the world so you can be truly lazy.

I remember turning in my first assignment in elementary school using the computer and the teachers were kind of confused that I had printed it.

Computing is kind of a mess. Your computer doesn't know where you are. It doesn't know what you're doing. It doesn't know what you know.

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.

If you ask an economist what’s driven economic growth, it’s been major advances in things that mattered - the mechanization of farming, mass manufacturing, things like that. The problem is, our society is not organized around doing that.
Larry Page
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Big companies have always needed and cooperated in areas where it made sense.
Larry Page
Image
You need to get one thing done well, or else you don't have permission to do anything else.
Larry Page
Image
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.

Image
If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.

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.

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.
