More quotes by Christopher Reeve
A hero is an ordinary person doing things in an extra ordinary way.
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
When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.
Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve
I've still never had a dream that I'm disabled. Never.
Christopher Reeve
By reaching out, more comes back than you can possibly imagine.
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
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
You learn the stuff of your life (sports, movies, traveling) ... that's not the essence of your existence, my relationships were always good. Now they have transcended (rise beyond).
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
If you don't have a vision, nothing happens.
Christopher Reeve
