I feel like people aren’t working enough on things that don’t exist.

The idea that everyone should slavishly work so they can do something else later on in life is just not how I think about it.

Maybe we should set aside some small part of the world where we don't allow some of the laws of physics to apply.

We don't want to be constrained by the current business models.

The goal is to die trying.

I worry that something has gone seriously wrong with the way we run companies.

If you're not doing some things that are crazy, then you're doing the wrong things.

The only way you get people to work on these things is if they don't feel like they're being judged.

I'd rather have Google not be a company than have it be the kind of company that does this kind of stuff.

Maybe we should build a city.

Why can't we have an environment where people can be more creative?

If we're not doing some things that are on the edge of legality, we're not being innovative enough.

The goal isn't to win awards. The goal is to build great products.

We should be building great things that don't exist.

If we solve search, that would mean that the AI would be able to answer any question, which would mean that the AI would be smarter than humans.

Most companies decay slowly over time. They do a little worse every year.

I think sometimes people think that the way you make progress is to take very small steps. I don't think that's how most progress happens.

The money we make is a byproduct of doing something interesting.

I think it's important that we don't all work on the same things.

We don’t have as many big bets as we should. We’re still pretty small for a company our size.
