Most romantic quotes
I know it's a little early for Valentine's Day, but I thought some of you might appreciate something else to talk about besides the Endless Movie-Casting Debate on Diana Gabaldon's Facebook page.So, here are my all-time favorite romantic quotes from the OUTLANDER series.
"Ye are Blood of my Blood, and Bone of my Bone. I give ye my Body, that we Two might be One. I give ye my Spirit, 'til our Life shall be Done."

"I do not know if the wound is mortal, but Claire--I do feel my heart's blood leave me, when I look at you."

"I have burned for you for twenty years, Sassenach," he said softly. "Do ye not know that?"

"the world is turning upside down, and you are the only constant thing. the only thing that binds me to the earth." Ian Murray to Rachel in "An Echo in the Bone"
P.S. young Ian is by far my favorite character (yes, even over Jamie). Know of any good Ian fan boards/posts out there? They seem kind of hard to find except for the occasional one that discusses his former Mohawk life.
Christiane - PLEASE call me "Karen"! "Mrs. Henry" sounds like my mother. :-)
