I may be in timeout forever. But I hope not to be.
Lance Armstrong
Image
There was certainly a dishonesty there that I think is totally regrettable and inexcusable. The ringleading, the bullying: not totally true.
Lance Armstrong
Image
If you go to Wikipedia and you look at the Tour de France, there's this huge block in World War One with no winners, and there's another block in World War Two. And then it seems like there's another world war.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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
Image
I am just coming into my best years. This year I did new things stretching and abdominal work.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I can get up in the morning and look myself in the mirror and my family can look at me too and that's all that matters.

Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully. It taught me that pain has a reason, and that sometimes the experience of losing things-whether health or a car or an old sense of self-has its own value in the scheme of life. Pain and loss are great enhancers.

Hard work, sacrifice and focus will never show up in tests.

I didn't live a lot of lies, but I lived one big one.

I have never doped. I can say it again, but I've said it for seven years.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Hey. Pain can last a moment, it can last a day, it can last a week, it can last a long..long time, but it can't last forever and the only thing that can last forever is if you quit.
Lance Armstrong
Image
The idea that anybody was forced, or pressured, or encouraged, is not true.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's a fact that children with cancer have higher cure rates than adults with cancer, and I wonder if the reason is their natural, unthinking bravery... Adults know too much about failure they're more cynical and resigned and fearful.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I am flawed, deeply flawed. I didn't invent the [doping] culture but I didn't try to stop the culture and that's my mistake, and that's what I have to be sorry for.
Lance Armstrong
Image
To all the cynics, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry you can't believe in miracles. This is a great sporting event and hard work wins it.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Chasing records doesn't keep me on my bike. Happiness does.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Nineteen hundred meters up there is completely different from1,900 any place else. There's no air, there's no oxygen. There's no vegetation, there's no life. There's no life. Rocks. Any other climb there's vegetation, grass and trees. Not there on the Ventoux. It's more like the moon than a mountain.

Fear is priceless education.

My house is burned, but I can see the sky.

It works better for me to be nervous and hungry.
