More quotes by Christopher Reeve
It's defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it's hard to resist considering what might have been.
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
I remember telling a neurosurgeon, Don't give me too much information, because at the moment my ignorance is my best asset.
Christopher Reeve
I am a very lucky guy. I can testify before Congress. I can raise funds. I can raise awareness.
Christopher Reeve
In the second half of the 20th century, people are becoming more limited: Vocabularies are smaller, thoughts are smaller, aspirations are smaller, everything is very scaled down. Everyone is typecast.
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
Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.
Christopher Reeve
Misfortune can force you into doing things you should be doing anyway. Lessons come from adversity. Anything can happen to anyone... You can find a new lease on life - more meaning than you thought possible in simple things... Let go. Live in the moment. Go forward.
Christopher Reeve
In the face of adversity, hope often comes in the form of a friend who reaches out to us.
Christopher Reeve
I don't think actors are to blame for poor writing. The culture changes first, and the theater follows it. In the case of the movies, it's the same thing.
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'm starting a new chapter in my [[life], and you have no idea how much that means.
Christopher Reeve
I'm not living the life I thought I would lead, but it does have meaning, purpose. There is love... there is joy... there is laughter.
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
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
A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.
Christopher Reeve
Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.
Christopher Reeve
A hero is an ordinary person doing things in an extra ordinary way.
Christopher Reeve
People may never understand this - and perhaps I should give up caring whether they do or not - but the idea of me playing Superman is so far away from what I was brought up to aspire to.
Christopher Reeve
