More quotes by 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
When you fly across the country in an airplane the country seems vast but it isn't vast. It's all connected by roads one can ride a bike down. If you watch the news and there's a tragedy at a house in Kansas, that guy's driveway connects with yours, and you'd be surprised by how few roads it takes to get there.
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
She knows who she is. She just forgot for a little while.
Donald Miller
Christ, in short, asks us to give everything, all our false redemption in the lifeboat, all our false ideas about who God is, all our trust in something other than God to redeem us. In so doing, we die to our broken natures in exchange for His perfect nature, and find unification with Him that will allow God to see us as one.

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.

the times we worked harder to make the day stand out. our story demanded that we change and so we did.

No love is conditional. If love is conditional, it’s just some sort of manipulation masquerading as love.
Donald Miller
To change the world you'll need a pen.
Donald Miller
And so I have come to understand that strength, inner strength, comes from receiving love as much as it comes from giving it.
Donald Miller
I heard once that real love doesn't ask what is in it for me it just gives unconditionally. It just tries to take the weight out of somebody else's pack, lessen his load, and if it gets reciprocated, that's great, but that isn't what you did it for.
Donald Miller
Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
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
All my books have been titled based on a piece of the prose from inside the book.
Donald Miller
Don't let go of your strength or your beauty. It was given to you by God.
Donald Miller
God made a whole beautiful earth and decided to put you in it, to experience all of this beauty. You can't do that watching television all the time.
Donald Miller
The reason I like writing a memoir is because it isn't preachy.
Donald Miller
Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.
Donald Miller
I can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me
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.
