“I don’t believe in epiphanies. I don’t believe in transformative moments, as transformation is harder than a moment. I’ve seen far too many people awash in a genuine desire to change only to lose their mettle when they realized just how difficult change actually is.”
― J.D. Vance, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis
