I kept imagining these people, just living their daily lives, and then having them suddenly ended in unjust tragedy. When we watch the news, we grieve all of this, but when we go to the movies, we want more of it.

We think God is unjust, rather than a master storyteller. β¨ Donald Miller (2009). A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life, p.31, Thomas Nelson Inc
