"If you watched a movie about a guy who wanted a Volvo and worked for years to get it, you wouldnâ€™t cry at the end when he drove off the lot, testing the windshield wipers.Â You wouldnâ€™t tell your friends you saw a beautiful movie or go home and put a record on to think about the story youâ€™d seen.Â The truth is, you wouldnâ€™t remember that movie a week later, except youâ€™d feel robbed and want your money back.Â Nobody cries at the end of a movie about a guy who wants a Volvo."

-- Donald Miller
