as if you were having a picnic in a dream.
There will be no ants.
It won’t rain.”

“We dream our dream alone with no resistance / Fading like the stars we wish to be
True perfection has to be imperfect
My God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
Little by little / We gave you everything you ever dreamed of / And little by little / the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off”

“Finally, the last thing I’ll say to the people who don’t believe in cycling, the cynics and the sceptics: I'm sorry for you. I’m sorry that you can’t dream big. I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.”

Lance Armstrong (1971) professional cyclist from the USA

Farewell speech at the Champs-Élysées podium, after winning his seventh Tour de France, quoted in &quot;Paris salutes its American hero&quot; by Caroline Wyatt in BBC News (24 July 2005) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/europe/4713283.stm <br class="br">Context: Finally, the last thing I’ll say to the people who don’t believe in cycling, the cynics and the sceptics: I&#x27;m sorry for you. I’m sorry that you can’t dream big. I&#x27;m sorry you don&#x27;t believe in miracles. But this is one hell of a race. This is a great sporting event and you should stand around and believe it. You should believe in these athletes, and you should believe in these people. I&#x27;ll be a fan of the Tour de France for as long as I live. And there are no secrets — this is a hard sporting event and hard work wins it. So Vive le Tour forever!
