When Pausch spoke of "when you’re screwing up and nobody’s saying anything to you anymore, that means they gaveup." he was quoting Jon Snoddy http://www.snoddy.net/
The Last Lecture (2007)
Context: Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you. He said, when you are pissed off at somebody, and you're angry at them, you just haven't given them enough time. Just give them a little more time — and they'll almost always impress you. And that really stuck with me. I think he's absolutely right on that one.
“And sure enough, even waiting will end… if you can just wait long enough.”
“If you are patient… and wait long enough… Nothing will happen”
“Yes, well, life is a folly. If you live long enough, nothing is surprising.”

“Surprising what you can dig out of books if you read long enough, isn't it?”
Rand al'Thor
(15 September 1992)
“I guess it's true what they say: if you wait long enough everything changes.”

“I knew if I waited around long enough something like this would happen.”
The making of a movie is wonderful. What's difficult is afterward when you have to go around and try to sell it. The actual filming, when you have a good script—which isn't often—nothing beats it.
