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.
From 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.
Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.
At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable.
I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
It's defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it's hard to resist considering what might have been.
Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.
I've still never had a dream that I'm disabled. Never.
I never said I will stand, I said I hoped to stand. It wasn't a prediction.
Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body.
