Diana Gabaldon
If I die before I say 'I love you' it's because I didn't have the time.
Diana Gabaldon
Through eons of living in a land so poor there was little to eat but oats, they had as usual converted necessity into a virtue, and insisted that they liked the stuff.
Diana Gabaldon
Really rather fascinating, you know,' he confided, and I recognized, with an internal sigh, the song of the scholar, as identifying a sound as the terr-whit! of a thrush.
Diana Gabaldon
I shook so that it was some time before I realized that he was shaking too, and for the same reason. I don't know how long we sat there on the dusty floor, crying in each others arms with the longing of twenty years spilling down our faces.
Diana Gabaldon
The past is gone-the future is not come. And we are here together, you and I.
Diana Gabaldon
We are bound, you and I, and nothing on this earth shall part me from you.
Diana Gabaldon
To see the years touch ye gives me joy, he whispered, for it means that ye live.
Diana Gabaldon
What underlies great science is what underlies great art, whether it is visual or written, and that is the ability to distinguish patterns out of chaos.
Diana Gabaldon
