More quotes by Christopher Reeve
To be able to feel the lightest touch really is a gift.
Christopher Reeve
When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.
Christopher Reeve
Having that college-town atmosphere with a live repertory company available was a real gift. I found myself gravitating toward the theater from about the age of nine. I guess it was the environment that got me started.
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

Christopher Reeve
Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes.
Christopher Reeve

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
There is no such thing as can't.
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
All the scientists who are working on solving the problem of curing paralysis say that it won't do you any good if you don't keep your body in shape.
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
You can do anything you think you can.
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
By reaching out, more comes back than you can possibly imagine.
