" I didn't say, 'Let me change my value system,' I said, 'Let me try to walk in the shoes of that value system and see what I can get from it, or how I can counsel people to think or feel differently as opposed.' And my motto for that is 'I really try to focus on getting it right, not being right, getting it right can look really different.'"

- Brantley Turner

"If you don't feel like you're challenging this status quo in your current context, find a way to disrupt yourself, move your body, get out."
