Show Change is inevitable, as the past year and "change" (haha) has proven. Sometimes change comes at you hard and fast... you know, like when you suddenly find that nothing is the same amid a worldwide pandemic. But the good news is that even when you endure such a huge and unwanted transformation, there's almost always a silver lining. That's one of the main lessons behind The Big Leap, FOX's inspiring new dramedy about a ragtag group of everyday people in Detroit who decide to throw caution to the wind and try out for a televised dance competition. Whether they're going for it because they want to impress an ex, prove they've still got moves, rehab their rep or chase after a long-dormant dream, they all experience their fair share of fear and thrills in equal measure—all while contending with the ongoing effects of 2020, just like in real life. Of course, whether on TV or in the real world, dealing with change is rarely easy. If you could use a little help making sense of a confusing, tumultuous time or staying motivated amid a major upheaval, check out these 101 quotes about change that'll encourage you to see the good side of things (and check out The Big Leap when it premieres Mon. Sept. 20 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FOX). 101 Quotes About Change1. “Change, like healing, takes time.” ― Veronica Roth 2. “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, what am I?
