Christopher Reeve
Image
You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.
Christopher Reeve
Image
Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.

Christopher Reeve
Image
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
Image
The key to success is letting the relationships in your life grow to the highest levels they possibly can . . . not putting yourself first in life and remembering that the more you give away, the more you have.
Christopher Reeve
Image
Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.
Christopher Reeve
Image
America is better when all of us take care of all of us.

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.
