Memorable Quotes

  • “I think it is a universal truth that we’re all going to face challenges and difficult circumstances…limitations are always going to come up. Those limitations could be placed on us by others, and sometimes these limitations are going to be placed on ourselves…Those limitations don’t have to peel away our humanity in any way.” – David Harrell
  • “By us sharing our experiences, it lets the world know, let the people in your community know that they’re not alone.” – Charles Clark
  • “[Transcending] from that place of…head knowledge to heart knowledge [allows us] to create some synergy in the room.” – Charles Clark
