Black t-shirt, front: Bennett’s “Any change, even a change for the better…” with the drawbacks as fine print.
Black tee, left side view: the edge of the Bennett quote and the Quoteiac logo on the sleeve.

“Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.”Arnold Bennett · Quote T-Shirt

You finally quit the job that was draining you. Week one, and you miss the paycheck, the coworkers, even the commute.

The sentence right before it is pure Bennett: "And habits are the very dickens to change!"

The asterisk is ours. Every change for the better comes with fine print.

Wear it through the hard part.
