We don't beat the reaper by living longer, but by living well, and living fully — for the reaper will come for all of us.

Additional quotes by Randy Pausch

How do you get people to help you? You can’t get there alone. People have to help you and I do believe in karma. I believe in paybacks.

The fact that fashion goes out of fashion and then comes back into fashion based solely on what a few people somewhere think they can sell, well to me, that’s insanity.
