Christopher Reeve understood that... everything begins with hope. His vision of walking again, his belief that he would be able to in his lifetime, towered over his broken body.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What can you say about such a man as Christopher Reeve? He embodied all the best that a human being can hope to be.
Christopher Reeve will always be Superman in my mind.
And yet I think of Christopher Reeve who said he would pay two million dollars to be able to feel pain again. What a courageous man! So I have to think that pain is a blessing.
At the end of the day, you can't have a vision; you have to have a hope. This is where the miracle comes in.
Here's the miracle: I grew up thinking, 'Wouldn't it be great to write 'Superman' someday? Wouldn't it be great to create my own show, or work on 'Lensman,' or 'Forbidden Planet?' Those were very literally the goals I set for myself, the dreams that I thought I didn't have a chance in hell of ever actually achieving. But it's happened.
Hope... is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.
Toward the end of his life, one can sense that he was no longer thinking his way into the minds of others, causing them to speak on his behalf, but that he was now speaking for himself.
I had hoped when my life was chronicled, it would be an inspirational story.
Right before I jumped out of a plane, I knew what Superman felt like.
I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately.
