If you watched a movie about a guy who wanted a Volvo and worked for years to get it, you wouldnβt cry at the end when he drove off the lot, testing the windshield wipers. You wouldnβt tell your friends you saw a beautiful movie or go home and put a record on to think about the story youβd seen. The truth is, you wouldnβt remember that movie a week later, except youβd feel robbed and want your money back. Nobody cries at the end of a movie about a guy who wants a Volvo. β¨ Donald Miller (2009). A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life, p.13, Thomas Nelson Inc
