Diana Gabaldon Quote
Still, as the Mass went on, things seemed more normal; there were Bible readings, quite familiar, and then the accustomed descent into the vaguely pleasant boredom of a sermon, in which the inevitable Christmas annunciations of peace, goodwill, and love rose to the surface of his mind, tranquil as white lilies floating on a pond of words.
