More quotes by Lance Armstrong
We have unrealized capacities that sometimes only emerge in crisis.
Lance Armstrong
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.
Lance Armstrong
I wanted to live, but whether I would or not was mystery, and in the midst of confronting that fact, even at that moment, I was beginning to sense that to stare into the heart of such a fearful mystery wasn't a bad thing. To be afraid is a priceless education. P 99
Lance Armstrong
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
Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that's not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.
Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong
I didn't just jump back on the bike and win. There were a lot of ups and downs, good results and bad results, but this time I didn't let the lows get to me.
Lance Armstrong
I love this race from the very depths of my heart. It gives me motivation and it transcendsme like nothing else in the world.
Lance Armstrong
I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.
Lance Armstrong
If a script writer had come up with a story resembling what you have just achieved, even the Hollywood studios would have refused.
Lance Armstrong
Nobody wants to hear how I think I've been mistreated, or how I think my punishment should be lifted, or tweaked, or reduced. Nobody wants to hear me say that, nobody cares what I think about this. I get it.
Lance Armstrong
Knowledge is power, community is strength and positive attitude is everything
Lance Armstrong
It's tougher for me. But I don't think that's imperative to me starting a new movement, or revive an old movement, to help people.
Lance Armstrong
You can teach someone how to control their strength, but you can't teach them to be strong.
Lance Armstrong
Fear is priceless education.
Lance Armstrong
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
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
Marathons are hard because of the physical pain, the pounding on the muscles, joints, tendons.
Lance Armstrong
The body is telling the mind to stop. The mind is telling the body to shut up.
Lance Armstrong
I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.
