Can I make a div override a container in Bootstrap 4?

Question

I'm working on this page where I have a container with 2 paragraphs. Between those 2 paragraphs I want (only on small screens) to show a quote in a div that has a full screen-width, however due to the container I can't seem to get it full width small screen view.

I know it's possible to make multiple containers, but that's not what I want, since it has to look like THIS on middle and large screens (2 columns). As you can see the quote is also only on the small screens. Any way to fix this? This is my code

Can you elaborate a little more what do you want and div between these two paragraph or columns? on mobile view — Awais, Oct 23 '19 at 10:01

I noticed that my first picture was the same as the second one, so I changed that. On small screen I have one column and halfway the quote div (that should be full-width but I don't know how). The second screenshot is how the one column of the small device split up and are shown next to each other instead of stacked upon each other. — zeemeeuw1994, Oct 23 '19 at 12:55
Unrelated, but you should inline the images, e.g. prefix with an exlamation mark: `![small screen view][2]`. See also help (the small question mark at the top right). "As you can see ...", I can't see anything, because the second image is cropped. It looks like the relevant part is further down at the bottom in the first column. — Olaf Dietsche, Oct 23 '19 at 13:07
I've added the two pictures of the small and medium screens without cropping them. I can't show them visually yet but only through a link since I don't have enough reputation points. The medium screen is what I would like to keep (2 columns). However with my code like this I keep having the margin around the quote area on small screens — zeemeeuw1994, Oct 23 '19 at 13:38
So the layout is correct in both cases. What you want to achieve is no margin around the quote on small screens. — Olaf Dietsche, Oct 23 '19 at 21:16
@OlafDietsche exactly! That's it! But how can I achieve that? — zeemeeuw1994, Oct 24 '19 at 07:04

I've found a way to fix it that works. Actually it wasn't that hard at all. I just deleted the padding on the container and added px-3 to the two paragraphs. This way the quote could be full-width and I keep my layout the way I want it. Thank you all for thinking with me.
