I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. But I was outside the Bagdad Theater in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the saxophone. I stood there for fifteen minutes, and he never opened his eyes. After that I liked jazz music. Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way. I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened. β¨ Donald Miller (2012). Blue Like Jazz: Movie Edition: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality, p.7, Thomas Nelson Inc
