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.

Pain and loss are great enhancers.

Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that's not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.

We sped on, across the plains, toward Metz. I hung back, saving myself. It is called the Race of Truth. The early stages separate the strong riders from the weak. Now the weak would be eliminated altogether.
Lance Armstrong

That was my decision, so I have to be responsible for that. It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life and I don't have a good reason for why I wanted to come back, I don't have a good reason for doing it all.

No one automatically gives you respect just because you show up. You have to earn it
