Donald Miller Quotes

I Was Watching Booknotes On CSPAN The Other Day And Got Caught Up In An Interview With A Literary Critic From The New York Times.The Interviewer Asked The Critic Why He Thought The Harry Potter Series Was Selling So Many Copies. "Wish Fulfillment," The Critic Answered. He Said The Lead Character In The Book Could Wave A Wand And Make Things Happen, And This Is One Of The Primary Fantasies Of The Human Heart. I Think This Is True. I Call It "Clawing For Eden."But The Bible Says Eden Is Gone, And As Much As We Want To Believe We Can Fix Our Lives In About As Many Steps As It Takes To Make A Peanut-butter Sandwich, I Don't Believe We Can.
