More From Christopher Reeve

This is the most immediate fruit of exile, of uprooting: the prevalence of the unreal over the real. everyone dreamed past and future dreams, of slavery and redemption, of improbable paradises, of equally mythical and improbable enemies; cosmic enemies, perverse and subtle, who pervade everything like the air.
Dream Real Past
An atheist, like a christian, holds that we can know whether or not there is a god. the christian holds that we can know there is a god; the atheist, that we can know there is not. the agnostic suspends judgment, saying that there are not sufficient grounds either for affirmation or for denial. at the same time, an agnostic may hold that the existence of god, though not impossible, is very improbable; he may even hold it so improbable that it is not worth considering in practice. in that case, he is not far removed from atheism.
Christian Atheist Practice
Israel is a fulfillment, and as a fulfillment, it is flawed. dreams fulfilled are imperfect. and, israel is imperfect, of course it is - a far cry from the monumental dreams of the founding fathers. one of the reasons is that their dreams were unrealistic. they were bigger than life. these were messianic dreams, dreams about total redemption for the jews, for the world. such dreams do not come true, not in their entirety.
Dream Father Redemption
Well," peter van houten said, extending his hand to me. "it is at any rate a pleasure to meet such ontologically improbable creatures." i shook his swollen hand, and then he shook hands with augustus. i was wondering what ontologically meant. regardless, i liked it. augustus and i were together in the improbable creatures club: us and duck-billed platypuses.
Hands Ducks Together
So my antagonist said, "is it impossible that there are flying saucers? can you prove that it's impossible?" "no," i said, "i can't prove it's impossible. it's just very unlikely." at that he said, "you are very unscientific. if you can't prove it impossible then how can you say that it's unlikely?" but that is the way that is scientific. it is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.
Possible And Impossible Flying Way
Each of us must work to become a hardheaded realist, or else we risk wasting our time and energy on pursuing impossible dreams. yet constant naysayers pursue no less impossible dreams. their fear and cynicism move nothing forward. they kill progress. how many cynics built empires, great cities, or powerful corporations?

The success of a play, especially one's first success, is somewhat like pushing against a door which is suddenly opened that was always securely shut until then. for myself, the experience was invigorating. it suddenly seemed that the audience was a mass of blood relations, and i sensed a warmth in the world that had not been there before. it made it possible to dream of daring more and risking more.
Dream Doors Blood
And i am all the things i have ever loved: scuppernong wine, cool baptisms in silent water, dream books and number playing.

It's the most terrifying day of your life, the day the first one is born. your life, as you know it, is gone. never to return. but they learn how to walk, and they learn how to talk, and you want to be with them. and they turn out to be the most delightful people you'll ever meet in your life.

From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: i know no other religion; i cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.
