Donald Miller
“I fell in love with books. Some people find beauty in music, some in painting, some in landscape, but I find it in words. By beauty, I mean the feeling you have suddenly glimpsed another world, or looked into a portal that reveals a kind of magic or romance out of which the world has been constructed, a feeling there is something more than the mundane, and a reason for our plodding.”
Donald Miller, To Own a Dragon: Reflections On Growing Up Without A Father

Donald Miller
“If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation. If I got any comfort as I set out on my first story, it was that in nearly every story, the protagonist is transformed. He's a jerk at the beginning and nice at the end, or a coward at the beginning and brave at the end. If the character doesn't change, the story hasn't happened yet. And if story is derived from real life, if story is just condensed version of life then life itself may be designed to change us so that we evolve from one kind of person to another. ”
Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life

Donald Miller
“I think this is when most people give up on their stories. They come out of college wanting to change the world, wanting to get married, wanting to have kids and change the way people buy office supplies. But they get into the middle and discover it was harder than they thought. They can't see the distant shore anymore, and they wonder if their paddling is moving them forward. None of the trees behind them are getting smaller and none of the trees ahead are getting bigger. They take it out on their spouses, and they go looking for an easier story.”
Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life

Muriel Barbery
“The real ordeal is not leaving those you love but learning to live without those who don't love you.”
Muriel Barbery, Gourmet Rhapsody

“Everybody is following somebody. Everybody has faith in something and somebody. We are all believers.”
