“Brick walls are there for a reason. They give us a chance to show how badly we want”
Jeffrey Zaslow, The Last Lecture

“Here's what we'll do. We're going to keep you at the end of our fishing line. And if you ever need anything, you just give a little tug and we'll reel you back in.”
Jeffrey Zaslow, The Girls from Ames: A Story of Women and a Forty-Year Friendship

“I quote my father to people almost every day. Part of that is because if you dispense your own wisdom, others often dismiss it; if you offer wisdom from a third party, it seems less arrogant and more acceptable”
Jeffrey Zaslow, The Last Lecture
