“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. I want to cross one last finish line as my wife and my ten children applaud, and then I want to lie down in a field of those famous French sunflowers and gracefully expire, the perfect contradiction to my once anticipated poignant early demise.” WantYearsChildrenLastsLyingDiesStarsHoursLinesPerfectWifeFieldsTenHundredCrossesMy WifeMilesContradictionTexasFlagsBicycleDescentWanting To DieDemiseHelmetPoignantFinish LineSunflowerAmerican FlagI Want To DieAlpine Author:Lance Armstrong
