Zitat des Tages von Christopher Reeve:
You should take some responsibility for the way you present yourself. But you should not be hung up on your looks, whether you are ugly or handsome, because it isn't an achievement.
I've still never had a dream that I'm disabled. Never.
You've got to give more than you take.
I am optimistic. But I also know that, with time, I'm beginning to fight issues of aging as well as long-term paralysis.
Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.
I am a very lucky guy. I can testify before Congress. I can raise funds. I can raise awareness.
To be able to feel the lightest touch really is a gift.
We live in a time when the words impossible and unsolvable are no longer part of the scientific community's vocabulary. Each day we move closer to trials that will not just minimize the symptoms of disease and injury but eliminate them.
A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.
A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable.
Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.
It's important to me to say what I really mean.
I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.
It's defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it's hard to resist considering what might have been.
I never said I will stand, I said I hoped to stand. It wasn't a prediction.
