Christopher Reeve
You can do anything you think you can.
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
A hero is an ordinary person doing things in an extra ordinary way.
Christopher Reeve
America is better when all of us take care of all of us.
Christopher Reeve
I have never been disabled in my dreams.
Christopher Reeve
Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.

I've still never had a dream that I'm disabled. Never.
Christopher Reeve
