More quotes by Christopher Reeve
America is better when all of us take care of all of us.
Christopher Reeve
To be able to feel the lightest touch really is a gift.
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
Once we choose hope, everything is possible.
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
You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.
Christopher Reeve
When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.
Christopher Reeve
I don't think actors are to blame for poor writing. The culture changes first, and the theater follows it. In the case of the movies, it's the same thing.
Christopher Reeve
A hero is an ordinary person doing things in an extra ordinary way.
Christopher Reeve
Misfortune can force you into doing things you should be doing anyway. Lessons come from adversity. Anything can happen to anyone... You can find a new lease on life - more meaning than you thought possible in simple things... Let go. Live in the moment. Go forward.
Christopher Reeve
It's defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it's hard to resist considering what might have been.
Christopher Reeve
I gradually stopped wondering, ‘What life do I have?' and began to consider, ‘What life can I build?
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
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
Don't put a limit on what can be accomplished.
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
People may never understand this - and perhaps I should give up caring whether they do or not - but the idea of me playing Superman is so far away from what I was brought up to aspire to.
Christopher Reeve
Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes.
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
I've still never had a dream that I'm disabled. Never.
Christopher Reeve
