If it was a sin for you to choose me . . . then I would go to the Devil himself and bless him for tempting ye to it.
Diana Gabaldon
With that height, plus a face of an ugliness so transcendant as to be grotesquely beautiful, it was obvious why she had embraced a religious life--Christ was the only man from whom she might expect embrace in return.
Diana Gabaldon
Then let amourous kisses dwell On our lips, begin and tell A Thousand and a Hundred score A Hundred and a Thousand more
Diana Gabaldon
It was in a way a comforting idea if there was all the time in the world, then the happenings of a given moment became less important.
Diana Gabaldon
When you're reading, you're not where you are you're in the book. By the same token, I can write anywhere.
Diana Gabaldon
There aren't any answers, only choices

Diana Gabaldon
You could tell from the books whether a library was meant for show or not. Books that were used had an open, interested feel to them, even if closed and neatly lined up on a shelf in strict order with their fellows. You felt as though the book took as much interest in you as you did in it and was willing to help when you reached for it.
Diana Gabaldon

Diana Gabaldon
I didn't want to tell the story of what makes two people come together, although that's a theme of great power and universality. I wanted to find out what it takes for two people to stay together for fifty years -- or more. I wanted to tell not the story of courtship, but the story of marriage.
Diana Gabaldon

Diana Gabaldon
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.
