Your past forms you, whether you like it or not. Each encounter and experience has its own effect, and you're shaped the way the wind shapes a mesquite tree on a plain.

More quotes by Lance Armstrong
Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on?
Lance Armstrong
I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.
Lance Armstrong
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
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
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
Knowledge is power, community is strength and positive attitude is everything
Lance Armstrong
I know what happened to my foundation, from raising no money to raising $500m, serving three million people. Do we want to take that away? I don't think anybody says yes.
Lance Armstrong
I didn't live a lot of lies, but I lived one big one.
Lance Armstrong
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.
Lance Armstrong
It's frustrating in the sense that I still think I could be competing at some sport at a fairly high level, which nobody cares about. Nobody wants to hear me say that.
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
We have unrealized capacities that sometimes only emerge in crisis.
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
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 have never doped. I can say it again, but I've said it for seven years.
Lance Armstrong
I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.
Lance Armstrong
I am just coming into my best years. This year I did new things stretching and abdominal work.
Lance Armstrong
But, listen, Eddie Merkyx would have won six Tours if he hadn't been punched.
Lance Armstrong
If you're trying to hide something, you wouldn't keep getting away with it for 10 years. Nobody is that clever.
Lance Armstrong
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.
