More quotes by Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve
Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.
Christopher Reeve
Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes.
Christopher Reeve
A hero is an ordinary person doing things in an extra ordinary way.
Christopher Reeve
What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view, that's how I approached the part.
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

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
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
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
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
Every scientist should remove the word 'impossible' from their lexicon.
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
