I am something of a recluse by nature. I am that cordless screwdriver that has to charge for twenty hours to earn ten minutes use. I need that much downtime.

I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up. I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn't into it. You should not keep riding your bike by her house either.

If you aren't telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon they just think you died.
Donald Miller
The ambitions we have will become the stories we live.
Donald Miller
If the abortion issue is important to me, this is how you tackle that issue.
Donald Miller
We don't know how much we are capable of loving until the people we love are being taken away, until a beautiful story is ending.
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.
Donald Miller
Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.
Donald Miller
You cannot be a Christian without being a mystic
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.

Suffering ceases to be suffering when you have a redemptive perspective.
