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

You don't need to have a 100-person company to develop that idea.

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

My grandfather was an autoworker, and I have a weapon he manufactured to protect himself from the company that he would carry to work. It's a big iron pipe with a hunk of lead on the head. I think about how far we've come as companies from those days, where workers had to protect themselves from the company.

If you can run the company a bit more collaboratively, you get a better result, because you have more bandwidth and checking and balancing going on.

Basically, our goal is to organize the world's information and to make it universally accessible and useful.

We have always believed that it's possible to make money without being evil.
