Thomas Ha > Quotes

“People have a tendency to confuse change with improvement. So alteration seems like creation to some.” The old man peered down the glasses dipping at the end of his nose. “We like the feeling of progress, and folks figured out a while ago that you can always tweak things in your surroundings to heighten a perceived movement through time. Even if, in truth, you haven’t advanced anywhere meaningful at all.”
― Thomas Ha, Uncertain Sons and Other Stories
