More quotes by Donald Miller
I tend to write first drafts that are incredibly cognitive, very rational, very boring. They come off as justification. Like, 'This is my idea and here's all the reasons that it's right.' It doesn't make for very compelling reading.

Maybe life isn't meaningless...Maybe just YOUR life is meaningless
Donald Miller
The times in my life when I have been most happy haven't been the times when I have had the most money or the most freedom or the most anything, but rather when I've been in love or in community or right with people.

It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.

Donald Miller
The more I try to impress people, the more I separate myself from them. Vulnerability attracts love.
Donald Miller
I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago, because a mind was made fo figure things out, not to read the same page recurrently.
Donald Miller
Flattery has a short battery life, but reminding people they are amazing and precious and wanted and works of art can truly change their lives.
Donald Miller
You cannot be a Christian without being a mystic
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
Meaningful stories have lots and lots of conflict. If we avoid conflict, our stories won't be meaningful.
Donald Miller
Even our beliefs have become trend statements. We don’t even believe things because we believe them anymore. We only believe things because they are cool things to believe.
Donald Miller
How many people have damaged their own lives by mistaking enablement for grace?
