Masonry quote wall

Build a masonry-style testimonial wall with Tailwind CSS using CSS columns (columns-1 md:columns-2 lg:columns-3 with gap) so cards of different heights tile naturally. Each card is break-inside-avoid, rounded-2xl, and alternates between a white bordered card and a dark filled card for rhythm. Cards contain a quote of varying length and a compact author row with an avatar circle, name, and company. Add a centered heading and a muted subline above the wall.
