"You can get so many things wrong and make up for all of them with your full undivided presence. You can get so many things right and blow it all for a lack of your undivided presence."

"My relationship with my phone was getting in the way of my most important relationships."

"We didn't need statistics to tell us all the damage our phones are doing."

"We grow levels of false dependence on our phones that we begin to believe that we need them more than we do."

"There's a lot of shame that can be associated when it comes to our phones or feeling like we're falling short."

"Doing something exclusively on your own is really hard, but when you're doing it with others and it becomes the norm within that group, it becomes so much easier."

"Human relationships come in front of phone relationships."

"Our kids are going to mimic what we model."
