“Change isn't easy. Changing the way you live means changing the way you think, means changing what you believe about life. That's hard.”

— Dean Koontz, book One Door Away from Heaven

Geneva Davis; chapter 1, p. 8

Context: Change isn't easy, Micky. Changing the way you live means changing the way you think. Changing the way you think means changing what you believe about life. That's hard, sweetie. When we make our own misery, we sometimes cling to it even when we want so bad to change, because the misery is something we know. The misery is comfortable.
