“Change is rarely straightforward, and that is one of the central premises of this book. Sometimes it’s as complex as chaos theory and as slow as evolution. Even things that seem to happen suddenly arise from deep roots in the past or from long-dormant seeds.”
― Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities
