There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say: 'Enough is enough.'

I got the three things I wanted. I did my job, I worked hard in the process, and I cherish the memories, and they're mine.

Cycling is a sport of the open road and spectators are lining that road.

At this point of my life, I'm not out to protect anybody. I'm out to protect seven people, and they all have the last name Armstrong.

My actions and reactions, and the way I treated certain scenarios, were way out of line, so I deserved some punishment.

The day it all changed. The day I stated never to take anything for granted. The day I learned to take charge of my life. It was the day I was diagnosed with cancer.

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
