Over the last few years, we’ve heard a lot about something called family values. And like many of you, I’ve struggled to figure out what that means but since my accident, I’ve found a definition that seems to make sense. I think it means that we’re all family, that we all have value.
--Christopher Reeve, 1996 Democratic National Convention
