The pain is so deep and strong that a curtain descends over your brain….Once someone asked me what pleasure I took in riding for so long. ‘PLEASURE???? I said.’ ‘I don’t understand the question.’ I didn’t do it for the pleasure I did it for the pain.

Lance Armstrong
During our lives...we experience so many setbacks, and fight such a hand-to-hand battle with failure, head down in the rain, just trying to stay upright and to have a little hope.
Lance Armstrong
The way you live your life, the perspective you select, is a choice you make every single day when you wake up. It's yours to decide.
Lance Armstrong
When you know your not going to die, you have to ask yourself... What's the highest and best use for myself.
Lance Armstrong
The body is telling the mind to stop. The mind is telling the body to shut up.
Lance Armstrong
Cancer doesn’t care if you’re Republican or Democrat.
Lance Armstrong
The Europeans look down on raising your hands. They don't like the end-zone dance. I think that's unfortunate. That feeling - the finish line, the last couple of meters - is what motivates me.
Lance Armstrong
