This situation we’re all dealing with is like being in recovery. It’s like a reset.

All of our future leaders will have to look at this situation and start finding better solutions.

Bismack Biyombo

Find creative inspiration, get your hands dirty — and I think that will help us get to the finish line.

Trent Brown

There’s really nothing else that I am looking forward to right now, other than taking it one day at a time.
