“A false mind is false in everything, just as a cross eye always looks askant. But one may err once, nay, a hundred times, without being double-minded. There can never be mental duplicity where there is sincerity.” MindLooksMayEyeHundredCrossesDeceitSincerityDuplicityDouble Minded Book:Pensées of Joubert Source: Pensées of Joubert

“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

“There are many things worth telling that are not quite narrative. And eternity itself possesses no beginning, middle or end. Fossils, arrowheads, castle ruins, empty crosses: from the Parthenon to the Bo Tree to a grown man's or woman's old stuffed bear, what moves us about many objects is not what remains but what has vanished.
