• I'm strapped in [the barrel] with a five-point drag-racing harness. With 50 feet to go, they tell me on the walkie-talkie to get ready for a head-first. "We love ya, man," was the last thing I heard. Then I could feel myself going over.

• We should not feel so sorely grieved if no man who had not attained the full stature of a Webster, Clay, Van Buren, or Gerrit Smith could claim the right of the elective franchise. But to have drunkards, idiots, horse-racing, rum-selling rowdies, ignorant foreigners, and silly boys fully recognized, while we ourselves are thrust out from all the rights that belong to citizens, it is too grossly insulting to the dignity of woman to be longer quietly submitted to.

• Obama wants to build such things as smart electrical grids and high-speed rail lines, which will offer big environmental improvements. Another obvious thing is that large-scale project financing is virtually frozen, so a lot of renewable energy projects are on hold. If the system doesn't get unclogged before the developers run out of cash, they will be cancelled. Money matters, and we are racing against time.

• The greatest thing about form and convention is that it saves you from having to reinvent the wheel. Now, whether you mount the wheel to a horse carriage or a Formula One racing car, make it plain or give it spinning rims, those are all craft decisions. But the fact of the wheel remains: it will turn if you set it down. That's what I mean about the beauty of the gifts genre can offer.

• Existe un orden relativo entre las especies fosilizadas de plantas encontradas en el registro geológico que la Geología del Diluvio no puede explicar, a menos que puedas imaginar manzanos y naranjos con zapatillas Nike en sus raíces, corriendo más allá de las magnolias y los mamíferos primitivos, dejando a los ginkgos allí con los dinosaurios cuando las aguas del Diluvio comenzaron a subir.

• Tu objetivo es simple: Terminar. Vive tu primera carrera, no la corras. Tu primera carrera debe ser ligeramente más larga o ligeramente más rápida que tu carrera normal. Corre tu primera carrera. Más tarde podrás correr. Serás un héroe sólo por terminar, así que no te presiones anunciando un objetivo de tiempo. Míralo de esta manera: Cuanto más despacio corras la distancia, más fácil te resultará presumir mejorando tu tiempo en la siguiente carrera.

• I was taking my advance freefall course, doing my level 1 jump. My heart was racing. Like I said, I have a lot of fear with falling, so I panicked. Then I let go of the door of the airplane and kind of panicked the entire way. But after a few jumps I grew more calm, realized what was going on, and I think that was the key. The more calm I got, the more relaxed I was.

• I didn't know that you could race your bike until after college. I didn't know anything about cycling except that I rode my bike from class to class or to my friend's house.

• It's funny because when there's something written about me in Velonews or Cyclingnews, the headline isn't "the other" Armstrong; its Armstrong wins another race. With Lance in retirement, everyone I know goes to those sites because they think Lance is racing again.
