My vision when we started Google 15 years ago was that eventually you wouldn't have to have a search query at all. You'd just have information come to you as you needed it. And [Google Glass] is now, 15 years later, sort of the first form factor that I think can deliver that vision. -- Sergey Brin

I pray my family members might appreciate these facts. -- Jermaine Jackson

But they don't understand anything. -- Stuart J. Russell
