More quotes by Christopher Reeve
There is no such thing as can't.
Christopher Reeve
When I first began acting, I assumed an intellectual responsibility attached to my profession, which I had accepted for a long time. My father taught me that an actor had to have a social and political conscience, and that the work that he does has to reflect from that.

Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve
I'm starting a new chapter in my [[life], and you have no idea how much that means.
Christopher Reeve
I have never been disabled in my dreams.
Christopher Reeve
You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.
Christopher Reeve
America is better when all of us take care of all of us.
Christopher Reeve
Living a life with meaning means spreading the word. Even if you can't move, you can have a powerful effect with what you say.
Christopher Reeve
Once we choose hope, everything is possible.
Christopher Reeve
I did my first apprenticeship when I was 15, then joined the union when I was 17. I worked every summer in high school and college.
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
Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.
Christopher Reeve
