• We have always tried to concentrate on the long term, and to place bets on technology we believe will have a significant impact over time.

We felt the exact opposite: that search quality was very poor, and that awesome user experiences would clearly make money.

• Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy - common clay, if you like - eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead.

The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes
