My ruthless desire to win at all costs served me well on the bike but the level it went to, for whatever reason, is a flaw. That desire, that attitude, that arrogance.
Lance Armstrong

Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.

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.

I spent a long time trying to build up an organisation [the Lance Armstrong Foundation that changed its name to Livestrong after his confession] to help a lot of people.

What is stronger, fear or hope?

Winning is about heart, not just legs. It's got to be in the right place.

I've read that I flew up the hills and mountains of France. But you don't fly up a hill. You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard, you get to the top ahead of everybody else.

I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.

Image
The truth is, if you asked me to choose between winning the Tour de France and cancer, I would choose cancer. Odd as it sounds, I would rather have the title of cancer survivor than winner of the Tour, because of what it has done for me as a human being, a man, a husband, a son, and a father.

I still don't get golf.

The ban doesn't have anything to do with Livestrong or my ability to work in [the cancer] community. Perhaps it speeds it up. I don't know the examples in Great Britain of athletes who have fallen. I know the examples in the United States - the Tiger Woods, the Michael Vicks, even the Bill Clintons - people who are still out there able to work.

I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour.

I exercise everyday. I swim, I bike, I run and I go to the gym.

My mother told me...if you're going to get anywhere, you're going to have to do it yourself, because no one is going to do it for you.
