More quotes by 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
The truth is, if what we choose to do with our lives won't make a story meaningful, it won't make a life meaningful either.

Donald Miller
People want to join a great story. If you want to lead, tell one with your life.
Donald Miller
I love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.
Donald Miller
You never question the truth of something until you have to explain it to a skeptic.
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
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
Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.
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
Half the time I don't know what I'm trying to say.
Donald Miller
Most great art is created when the artist feels they are channeling something rather than trying to communicate something.
