Mark Zuckerberg

My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don't care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that - building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.

Our goal is not to build a platform; it's to be cross all of them.

I'm trying to make the world a more open place.

Connectivity is a human right.

Connectivity just can't be a privilege for people in the richest countries. We believe that connecting everyone in the world is one of the great challenges of our generation, and that's why we are happy to play whatever small part in that that we can.

I updated my grilling app, iGrill, today and it now has Facebook integration that lets you see what other people are grilling right now around the world. Awesome.

This is our commitment to users and the people who use our service, is that Facebook's a free service. It's free now. It will always be free. We make money through having advertisements and things like that.

There's a level of service that we could provide when we're just at Harvard that we can't provide for all of the colleges, and there's a level of service that we can provide when we're a college network that we wouldn't be able to provide if we went to other types of things.

Our mission is to connect every person in the world. You don't do that by having a service people pay for.

I actually don't read most of the coverage about Facebook. I try to learn from getting input from people who use our services directly more than from pundits.

I care about helping to address these problems of social cohesion and understanding what economic problems people think exist.

A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.
