Sergey Brin People Quotations

We've seen a massive attack on the freedom of the web. Governments are realizing the power of this medium to organize people and they are trying to clamp down across the world, not just in places like China and North Korea; we're seeing bills in the United States, in Italy, all across the world.

We just want to have great people working for us.

Once you go from 10 people to 100, you already don’t know who everyone is. So at that stage you might as well keep growing, to get the advantages of scale.

I feel there’s an existential angst among young people. I didn’t have that. They see enormous mountains, where I only saw one little hill to climb.

Too few people in computer science are aware of some of the informational challenges in biology and their implications for the world. We can store an incredible amount of data very cheaply.

As we go forward, I hope we're going to continue to use technology to make really big differences in how people live and work.

We came up with the notion that not all web pages are created equal. People are – but not web pages.

If what we are doing is not seen by some people as science fiction, it's probably not transformative enough
