Tim Berners-Lee

Cool URIs don’t change.

I don’t believe in the sort of eureka moment idea. I think it’s a myth. I’m very suspicious that actually Archimedes had been thinking about that problem for a long time.

When I invented the web, I didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission.

I invented the Web just because I needed it, really, because it was so frustrating that it didn’t exit.

To be a hacker - when I use the term - is somebody who is creative and does wonderful things.

The Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web.

What’s very important from my point of view is that there is one web. Anyone that tries to chop it into two will find that their piece looks very boring.

I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the TCP and DNS ideas and — ta-da!— the World Wide Web.
