For everyone who thought I couldn’t do it… for everyone who thought I shouldn’t do it… for everyone who said, ‘It’s impossible’… see you at the finish line!

I get pretty impatient when people are able-bodied but are somehow paralyzed for other reasons.

Christopher Reeve

I gradually stopped wondering, What life do I have? and began to consider, What life can I build?

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

If I can laugh, I can live.

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
