Humans are designed to seek comfort and order, and so if they have comfort and order, they tend to plant themselves, even if their comfort isn't all that comfortable. And even if they secretly want for something better.

More quotes by Donald Miller
People want to join a great story. If you want to lead, tell one with your life.
Donald Miller
You never question the truth of something until you have to explain it to a skeptic.
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
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
If you don't feel free and be yourself, you can't connect. Find people who accept your quirks. They'll heal your soul.
Donald Miller
Earthly love… is temporal and slight so that is has to be given again and again in order for us to feel any sense of security but God’s love, God’s voice and presence, would instill our souls with such affirmation we would need nothing more and would cause us to love other people so much we would be willing to die for them.
Donald Miller
It wasn't necessary to win for the story to be great, it was only necessary to sacrifice everything.
Donald Miller
It occurs to me it is not so much the aim of the devil to lure me with evil as it is to preoccupy me with the meaningless.
Donald Miller
But the people who took the bus didn't experience the city as we experienced the city. The pain made the city more beautiful. The story made us different characters than we would have been if we had skipped the story and showed up at the ending an easier way.
Donald Miller
We don't think much about how our love stories will affect the world, but they do. Children learn what's worth living for and what's worth dying for by the stories they watch us live. I want to teach our children how to get scary close, and more, how to be brave. I want to teach them that love is worth what it costs.
Donald Miller
If I have a hope, it's that God sat over the dark nothing and wrote you and me, specifically, into the story and put us in with the sunset and the rainstorm as though to say, “Enjoy your place in my story. The beauty of it means you matter, and you can create within it even as I have created you.”
Donald Miller
Self-discipline will never make us feel righteous or clean accepting God's love will.
Donald Miller
I know, from the three visits I made to him, the blended composite of love and fear that exists only in a boy's notion of his father.
Donald Miller
Meaning is something we experience more than we attain. It's like finding a nice, easy current in a river that carries you through life.
Donald Miller
People are lonely. They want company and your book can provide them company and a little bit of hope. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Donald Miller
Everybody has to leave, everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.
Donald Miller
I think it's very hard for us, for Christians, to understand that it's okay to read a book, for instance, on how to manage your time. There's nothing wrong with that.
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
Without a positive male role model in your life it is extremely difficult to become a man who benefits his family and benefits society.
Donald Miller
I think we can provide better stories through providing mentors, and certainly part of my story is providing mentors to kids growing up without dads. I think positive male role models go a long way in terms of rescuing kids from a life of trouble.I think positive male role models go a long way in terms of rescuing kids from a life of trouble.
