But this would mean they were created near the creation of the universe (big bang). And they are still visible to us today?

Yep.... they are about 70% of the age of the universe, but remember that the light we are seeing here now left the quasar 10 billion years ago, who knows what the place looks like now? We will have to wait another ten billion years or so to see light that is leaving there right now.

We can see things up to 14 billion light years away. Since this is the age of the universe, not only are we seeing stars that are the furthest away, but we are seeing what they looked like around the time of the Big Bang. And, we cannot see any farther because there isn't a 'farther' to see.
