Quotes from Donald Miller

Still can't get enough of this book!

While talking about writing characters in his screenplay… “I felt the way I hope God feels as he writes the world sitting over the planets and placing tiny people in tiny wombs. If I have a hope, it’s that God sat over the dark nothing and wrote you and me, specifically, into the story, and put us in with the sunset and the rainstorm as though to say ‘enjoy your place to in my story. The beauty of it means you matter and you can create within it even as I have created you.”

“If you aren’t telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon; they just think you died.”

“Characters have to face their greatest fears with courage. That’s what makes a story good.…Polar changes, these happy and sad things in life, are like colors God uses to draw the world.”

“It’s not an agitated Voice, but ever patient as thought it approves a million false starts.”

“When people say life is meaningless what they really mean is their life is meaningless.”
