In short we need to recover the courage we celebrate in our heroes and in particular the courage to tolerate for the sake of a free society a level of risk we hardly ever imagined in the past.

It's cool to be a part of recovery. This is just who I am this is what I write about what I do and most of my work has been a reflection of what I've been going through in one way or another.

One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes... but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes - and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.

I think change is possible but only for individuals who were never truly gay in the first place and who have a strong personal motivation to recover their heterosexuality.

I can be almost terminally grief-stricken because things are so dire but at the same time there's a real lightheartedness about just the recoverability of life of how things change how they're not the same ever again.

I only know it takes weeks to recover as if one had been in a car accident.

Part of the beauty of Judaism and surely this is so for other faiths also is that it gently restores control over time. Three times a day we stop what we are doing and turn to God in prayer. We recover perspective. We inhale a deep breath of eternity.

Anyone who has played the game professionally you're always taught that the ball is the most important most precious thing so when the ball hits the ground it's always a mad scramble. It's amazing how many times there is a fumble and the person who recovers it initially doesn't walk away with the ball.

In fact it is amazing how much European films - Italian French German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years.
