Christopher Reeve
There is no such thing as can't.
Christopher Reeve
My father is an intellectual and physical man, which is a rather unusual combination. He's great. As he brought up me and my brothers and sisters, he ingrained in us that your appearance is not your responsibility, other than that you should not be a slob.
Christopher Reeve
I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. There is only one way to go in life and that is forward.
Christopher Reeve
America is better when all of us take care of all of us.
Christopher Reeve
I've still never had a dream that I'm disabled. Never.
Christopher Reeve
