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.

...a beggar's kingdom is better than a proud man's delusion.
Donald Miller
I don't read a lot of inspirational books for life. But for writing, I think the two best books are The War of Art and William Zinsser's On Writing Well. I read a lot of classics.
Donald Miller
What I believe is not what I say I believe what I believe is what I do.
Donald Miller
I am early in my story, but I believe I will stretch out into eternity, and in heaven I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed God was down a dirt road, walking toward me. Years ago He was a swinging speck in the distance now He is close enough I can hear His singing. Soon I will see the lines on His face.

Nothing is going to change in congo until you and i figure out what is wrong with the person inside the mirror

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
The more I try to impress people, the more I separate myself from them. Vulnerability attracts love.
Donald Miller
To be in a relationship with God is to be loved purely and furiously. And a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he can't accept who God is a Being that is love. We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people. That is why God tells us so many times to love each other.

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.
Donald Miller
Self-discipline will never make us feel righteous or clean accepting God's love will.
Donald Miller
I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the thing we need.
Donald Miller
To change the world you'll need a pen.
Donald Miller
Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.
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
All my books have been titled based on a piece of the prose from inside the book.
Donald Miller
No love is conditional. If love is conditional, it’s just some sort of manipulation masquerading as love.
Donald Miller
God doesn't give us crying, pooping children because he wants to advance our careers.
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
I have sometimes wondered if the greatest desire of man is to be known and loved anyway.
Donald Miller
People are lonely. They want company and your book can provide them company and a little bit of hope. And there's nothing wrong with that.
