3 quotes from Empire of Pain
- "The tragedy of America’s opioid crisis is that it is rooted in the very values that have made America great: the pursuit of success, the belief in the miracle of pharmaceutical advancement, and the idea that we can manage the complexities of life through better living through chemistry."
- "The Sacklers were the architects of an unprecedented marketing campaign that turned a specialized pain management medication into a global phenomenon, but their ambition came at a terrible cost, one borne by countless families and communities across the nation."
- "In the end, this is not just a story about a family or a company; it is a reflection of the American dream distorted by greed and the moral compromises we make in the pursuit of wealth."
