“We can't have democracy if we're having to protect you and our users from the government over stuff we've never had a conversation about. We need to know what the parameters are, what kind of surveillance the government is going to do, and how and why.”
Larry Page“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.”

Larry Page“We want to build technology that everybody loves using, and that affects everyone. We want to create beautiful, intuitive services and technologies that are so incredibly useful that people use them twice a day. Like they use a toothbrush. There aren't that many things people use twice a day.”
Larry Page“I do think there is an important artistic component in what we do. As a technology company I've tried to really stress that.”
Larry Page“Especially in technology, we need revolutionary change, not incremental change.”
Larry Page“If your access to health care involves your leaving work and driving somewhere and parking and waiting for a long time, that's not going to promote healthiness.”
Larry Page“Invention is not enough. Tesla invented the electric power we use, but he struggled to get it out to people. You have to combine both things: invention and innovation focus, plus the company that can commercialize things and get them to people.”
Larry Page“If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.”
Larry Page“You know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night with a vivid dream? And you know that if you don't have a pencil and pad by the bed, it will be completely gone by the next morning. Sometimes it's important to wake up and stop dreaming. When a really great dream shows up, grab it.”
Larry Page“If you're changing the world, you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.”
