“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

“I have the disadvantage of not being sociable. Wall Street men are fond of company and sport. A man makes one hundred thousand dollars there and immediately buys a yacht, begins to race fast horses, and becomes a sport generally. My tastes lie in a different direction. When business hours are over I go home and spend the remainder of the day with my wife, my children, and books of my library. Every man has natural inclinations of his own. Mine are domestic. They are not calculated to make me particularly popular in Wall Street, and I cannot help that.” MenChildrenBookDifferentHelpingHomeLyingSportsHoursNaturalRaceCompanyWifeStreetsMinesWallTasteThousandHundredHorseDollarsLibraryMy WifeEvery ManMy ChildrenInclinationDisadvantagesDifferent DirectionsYachtSociable Author:Jay Gould
