Where you going? NOWHERE!
- "The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!" — from The Last Lecture
- "...when you see yourself doing something badly and nobody's bothering you to tell you anymore, that's a very bad place to be. Your critics are the ones telling you they still love you and care." — from The Last Lecture
- "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted." — from The Last Lecture
- "It's not about how to achieve your dreams; it's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the dreams will come to you." — from The Last Lecture
- "[Quoting a CMU secretary] This advice is good for the ladies: when it comes to men that are romantically interested in you, it's really simple: just don't listen to anything they have to say; pay attention to what they do" — from The Last Lecture
- "We're not going to talk about spirituality and religion. Although I will tell you that I have experienced a deathbed conversion. I just bought a Macintosh." — from The Last Lecture

Fired up! Ready to go!
Very sad. This guy reminded me a lot of my own father, who gave his own "Last Lecture" in front of a high school gymnasium full of people. Not a dry eye in the place.

Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult!
Wow I never even heard of the guy, but I just listened to about the first 20 mins. of his lecture and I will be watching the rest later when I get home from work.
Sorry to hear he's passed. He could have touched the lives of so many more.

Wow, so sad to hear. I heard him speak and will always remember it, what a life he led and what values he had. I hope his family will find solace in the way he impacted so many people's lives, my thoughts are with them.
