Tim Berners-Lee
When you understand things, there's no more magic.
Tim Berners-Lee

Tim Berners-Lee
I suppose it's amazing when you think how many things people get involved in that don't work.
Tim Berners-Lee
I have built a moat around myself, along with ways over that moat so that people can ask questions.
Tim Berners-Lee
