More quotes by Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

"I’d compare college tuition to paying for a personal trainer at an athletic club. We professors play the roles of trainers, giving people access to the equipment (books, labs, our expertise) and after that, it is our job to be demanding."
"There's a lot of talk these days about giving children self-esteem. It's not something you can give; it's something they have to build."
"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."
"When we're connected to others, we become better people."
"Please don't die."
