My house is burned, but I can see the sky.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Well, you better ride like you stole something 'cause you are about to win a stage in the Tour de Fance.
Lance Armstrong
Image
The body is telling the mind to stop. The mind is telling the body to shut up.
Lance Armstrong
Image
If you're trying to hide something, you wouldn't keep getting away with it for 10 years. Nobody is that clever.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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.

A bike ride. Yes, that's it! A simple bike ride. It's what I love to do and most days I can't believe they pay me to do it. A day is not the same without it.
Lance Armstrong
Image
When you know your not going to die, you have to ask yourself... What's the highest and best use for myself.
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.
Lance Armstrong
Image
The unwillingness to accept anything short of victory, that underlying fury, is the fundamental building block of my bottomless motivation to succeed. It is my credo in all that I do in life from battling cancer to bicycle racing.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Winning is about heart, not just legs. It's got to be in the right place.
Lance Armstrong
Image
If there is a defining characteristic of a man as opposed to a boy, maybe it's patience.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's ironic, I used to ride my bike to make a living. Now I just want to live so that I can ride.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Twenty-plus-year career, 500 drug controls worldwide, in and out of competition. Never a failed test. I rest my case.

Cycling is so hard, the suffering is so intense, that it’s absolutely cleansing. 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

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
When I was sick, I didn't want to die. When I race, I don't want to lose. Dying and losing, it's the same thing.

Image
My mom was such a strong character. I don't want to say she was like a man, but she was tough.
Lance Armstrong
Image
If I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn't do it again because I don't think you have to. If you take me back to 1995, when doping was completely pervasive, I would probably do it again.

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.
Lance Armstrong

I guess if I looked at it from an athletic standpoint, I don't really need to win another Tour. Seven Tours for me was a dream, six broke the record, so that eight doesn't really mean much.
