Larry Page Quotations | Page 2

It is a tremendous responsibility for us to have all the eyes focused on what we do and give people exactly what they need when they ask for it.

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.

Big companies have always needed and cooperated in areas where it made sense.

As devices multiply and usage changes (many users coming online today may never use a desktop machine), it becomes more and more important to ensure that people can access all of their stuff anywhere.

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.

If you look at the people who have high impact, they have pretty general knowledge. They don't have a really narrowly focused education.

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.

We try to, when you come to Google, fulfill that need that you have as quickly as possible.

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.

The ultimate search engine... would understand exactly what you mean and give back exactly what you want.
