Donald Miller Quotes
Bob And Maria's Kids, Now Grown And In High School And College, Each Have A Quiet Dignity And Confidence. They Also Have An Informal Charm. [...] It Is Obvious They'd Played The Roles In The Story Their Family Was Living, The Roles Of Foreign Dignitaries, Traveling With Their Parents On The Important Assignment Of Asking World Leaders What They Hope In. Their STORY Had Given Them Their CHARACTER.
I Only Say This About The Children Because I Used To Believe Charming People Were Charming Because They Were Charming, Or Confident People Were Confident Because They Were Confident. But All Of This Is, Of Course, Circular. The Truth Is, We Are All Living Out The Character Of The Roles We Have Played In Our Stories.
