More quotes by 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

Christopher Reeve
By reaching out, more comes back than you can possibly imagine.
Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve
Once you choose hope, anything's possible
Christopher Reeve

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
Even if your body doesn't work the way it used to, the heart and the mind and the spirit are not diminished.
Christopher Reeve
If you don't have a vision, nothing happens.
Christopher Reeve
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
A hero is an ordinary person doing things in an extra ordinary way.
Christopher Reeve
Maybe one way I am original is that at heart I really am a classical actor. I haven't had my chance yet in the commercial world to show that. Movies aren't really made about classical people so much any more.
Christopher Reeve
I have never been disabled in my dreams.
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
