Key Quotes from the Episode: 

“The first and biggest lie of the darkness, it will tell you that you are alone. It will tell you that you are uniquely broken. That there is no one and nothing that will pull you out of this. Mental health does not discriminate per sex, per skin color, per faith, per society. Mental health comes for all of us.” - Zac Lvi 

“There is another level to humanity. I really think that we can get there, but it's going to require all of us laying down those swords.” - Zac Levi

“Where there is love, nothing is too much trouble and there is always time.” - Justin quoting Abdu'l Bahá
