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.

More quotes by Christopher Reeve
A hero is an ordinary person doing things in an extra ordinary way.
Christopher Reeve
When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.
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
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
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
Don't put a limit on what can be accomplished.
Christopher Reeve
My father is an intellectual and physical man, which is a rather unusual combination. He's great. As he brought up me and my brothers and sisters, he ingrained in us that your appearance is not your responsibility, other than that you should not be a slob.
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
Every scientist should remove the word 'impossible' from their lexicon.
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 am a very lucky guy. I can testify before Congress. I can raise funds. I can raise awareness.
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
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
I have never been disabled in my dreams.
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
It's defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it's hard to resist considering what might have been.
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
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
I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. There is only one way to go in life and that is forward.
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
