Diana Gabaldon

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
He gave you to me, she said, so low I could hardly hear her. Now I have to give you back to him, Mama.
Diana Gabaldon
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
An Englishman thinks a hundred miles is a long way and American thinks a hundred years is a long time
Diana Gabaldon
Hodie mihi cras tibi, said the inscription. Sic transit gloria mundi. My turn today, yours tomorrow. And thus passes away the glory of the world.
Diana Gabaldon
Gentle he would be, denied he would not.
Diana Gabaldon
Sassenach. He had called me that from the first the Gaelic word for outlander, a stranger. An Englishman. First in jest, then in affection.
Diana Gabaldon
