Donald Miller Quotes
No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath...

It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?" -Donald Miller,Through Painted Deserts.
