We don't know how much we are capable of loving until the people we love are being taken away, until a beautiful story is ending.
Donald Miller
If the abortion issue is important to me, this is how you tackle that issue.
Donald Miller
You cannot be a Christian without being a mystic

And once you live a good story, you get a taste for a kind of meaning in life, and you can't go back to being normal you can't go back to meaningless scenes stitched together by the forgettable thread of wasted time.
Donald Miller
I think the best thing a person can do is to read through the Gospels in the Bible and really look at Jesus, because if a person does this, they will realize that the Jesus they learned about in Sunday school or the Jesus they hear jokes about or the skinny, Gandhi Jesus that exists in their imaginations isn't anything like the real Jesus at all.
Donald Miller
The real voice is stiller and smaller and seems to know, without confusion, the difference between right and wrong and the subtle delineation between the beautiful and profane. It's not an agitated voice, but ever patient as though it approves a million false starts. The voice I am talking about is a deep water of calming wisdom.
Donald Miller
I'm the kind of person who wants to present my most honest, authentic self to the world, so I hide backstage and rehearse honest and authentic lines until the curtain opens.
Donald Miller
Christian spirituality was not a children's story. It wasn't cute or neat. It was mystical and odd and clean, and it was reaching into dirty. There was wonder in it and enchantment.
Donald Miller
The sexual conquest is huge with men in terms of affirming themselves and their feelings of masculinity. That's a misguided kind of affirmation. That is not helpful, but that stuff happens.
Donald Miller
Moral #1: If you work hard, stay focused, and never give up, you will eventually get what you want in life. Moral #2: Sometimes the things we want most in life are the things that will kill us.
Donald Miller
Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.

Of his new book, Don says: “It might be the greatest book ever written. I don’t think anybody is going to read a book again after they read my new one. I think God is proud of me. I am going to make a killing off this thing and I’m going to use the money to go to space.
Donald Miller
I listened so hard because it felt like, while she was telling me stories, she was massaging my soul, letting me know that I was not alone, that I will never have to be alone, that there are friends and family and churches and coffee shops. I was not going to be cast into space.
Donald Miller
I often learn more about myself from listening to the life story of a friend than I do reflecting on my own story.
Donald Miller
What I believe is not what I say I believe what I believe is what I do.
Donald Miller
It's possible to do both as a writer - to engage and have a family and all that good stuff - and I chose not to for the sake of the career.
Donald Miller
You can't tell a good story without conflict - the story can't be beautiful or meaningful. We're taught to run from conflict, and it's robbing us of some really good stories.
Donald Miller
The trouble with deep belief is that it costs something. And there is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesn't like the truth at all because it carries responsibility, and if I actually believe these things I have to do something about them. It is so, so cumbersome to believe anything. And it isn't cool.
Donald Miller
Fear isn’t only a guide to keep us safe it’s also a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life … the great stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.
Donald Miller
I took William Zinsser's advice that you write to yourself and you hope that there are people out there who are like you.
