More quotes by Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve
When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.
Christopher Reeve
Every scientist should remove the word 'impossible' from their lexicon.
Christopher Reeve
The character is a piece of fiction. You are yourself, however, and that makes you interesting, because you're alive and you're a human being.
Christopher Reeve
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
Christopher Reeve
I've still never had a dream that I'm disabled. Never.
Christopher Reeve
A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.
Christopher Reeve
Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.
Christopher Reeve
there is a relationship between the mind and the body that can both create a physical condition and enable us to recover from it
Christopher Reeve
