/* ============================================================
   RESPONSIVE
   The card's avatar/mark are absolutely positioned and the
   quote's left margin is hand-tuned to the 80px avatar — all
   three need to shrink together, or the avatar clips outside
   the card on narrow slides (see screenshot: 4th card cut off
   is a Swiper width issue, but the avatar/text spacing below
   fixes the part that's actually this CSS's job).
