Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
Donald Miller
Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.
Donald Miller
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
People want to join a great story. If you want to lead, tell one with your life.
Donald Miller
Passion about nothing is like pouring gasoline in a car without wheels. It isn't going to lead anybody anywhere.

Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.
Donald Miller
If what you are doing is important, you will encounter resistance. If what you are doing isn't important it will be easy.

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
When we talk about the decline of the American family, I think we have to go back to the Industrial Revolution.
Donald Miller
She knows who she is. She just forgot for a little while.
Donald Miller
The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.
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 think, in the grand epic, Jesus is the hero of our stories. And our stories, as they were, are subplots in a grand epic and our job is not to be the hero of any story. Our job is to be a saint in a story that he is telling.
Donald Miller
Don't let go of your strength or your beauty. It was given to you by God.
Donald Miller
...I should have people around bugging me and getting under my skin because without people I could not grow - I could not grow in God, and I could not grow as a human.
