Larry Page

"The Star Trek computer doesn't seem that interesting. They ask it random questions, it thinks for a while. I think we can do better than that."

"I have a simple algorithm, which is, wherever you see paid researchers instead of grad students, that's not where you want to be doing research."

"If you look at things like Google Now also. Maybe you want to just have [a question] answered for you before you ask it."

"It's hard to keep things moving. And that's always a big trick. I think for me, the key is setting really big goals. And, you know, with YouTube, I think we've had tremendous leadership, both with the founders and now with Salar, who's been running it."

"Sometimes it’s important to wake up and stop dreaming. When a really great dream shows up, grab it"

"I don't know how long I would've stayed, to be honest."

"Have a healthy disregard for the impossible."

"One flying car seems absurd; Larry Page has three."

"Page has long been reclusive, a computer scientist who pondered technical problems away from the public eye, preferring to chase moonshots over magazine covers."
