Google

Google occasionally alters its recognizable logo to celebrate specific events and holidays. These illustrations, known as Google Doodles, were actually conceived of before the company was incorporated. The first Google Doodle acted as a fun "out of the office" message when Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin attended Burning Man in 1998.

Since then, Google's team of "doodlers" have created more than 2,000 illustrations for the search engine's mostly white page around the world. Examples include drawings for holidays such as Teacher's Day to events such as the first day of fall.

In honor of Google's 18th birthday on Sept. 27, we've rounded up 10 inspiring quotes from people who were featured as Google Doodles.
