“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
“In the [first] fifteen years [of field work] I can remember just ten times when I had really narrow escapes from death. Two were from drowning in typhoons, one was when our boat was charged by a wounded whale; once my wife and I were nearly eaten by wild dogs, once we were in great danger from fanatical lama priests; two were close calls when I fell over cliffs, once I was nearly caught by a huge python, and twice I might have been killed by bandits.” YearsFirstsHas BeensI CanTwoMightRememberWifeDogDangerFieldsHugeTenCaughtMy WifeBoatPriestsFifteenWoundedMight Have BeenDrowningCliffsWhalesFifteen YearsLamaPythonBanditsTyphoonsWild DogsClose Calls Author:Roy Chapman Andrews
“With most people, not describable as artists, all the finer part of their vitality goes into sex. They become third-rate poets during their courtship. All their instincts of drama come out freshly with their wives.

“War is a monster with snaky locks, and fiery bloodshot eyes, and harpy claws, passing over fair fields and leaving its footprints in burning villages, dying men, weeping wives and children, and needs to be seen by those who so eagerly clamour for it at every opportunity.
