Christopher Reeve
America is better when all of us take care of all of us.
Christopher Reeve
I have more awareness of other people and, I hope, more sensitivity to their needs. I also find that I'm more direct and outspoken.
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
Once we choose hope, everything is possible.
Christopher Reeve
