I do know it, my own. Let me tell ye in your sleep how much I love you. For there's no so much I can be saying to ye while ye wake, but the same poor words, again and again. While ye sleep in my arms, I can say things to ye that would be daft and silly waking, and your dreams will know the truth of them. Go back to sleep, mo duinne.
("Dragonfly in Amber")
More Quotes from Diana Gabaldon:
I have lived through war, and lost much. I know what's worth the fight, and what is not. Honor and courage are matters of the bone, and what a man will kill for, he will sometimes die for, too. And that, O kinsman, is why a woman has broad hips; that bony basin will harbor a man and his child alike. A man's life springs from his woman's bones, and in her blood is his honor christened. For the sake of love alone, I would walk through fire again.Diana Gabaldon

Diana Gabaldon

Diana Gabaldon
He shook his head slowly from side to side, as though it were very heavy. I could almost hear the contents sloshing.
Diana Gabaldon
Torn between the impulse to stroke his head, and the urge to cave it in with a rock, I did neither.
