Gentle he would be, denied he would not.
Diana Gabaldon
The overseer wouldna speak to me of Ian, but he told me other things that would curl your hair, if it wasna already curled up like sheep's wool. He glanced at me, and a half-smile lit his face, inspite of his obvious perturbation. Judging by the state of your hair, Sassenach, I should say that it's going to rain verra soon now.
Diana Gabaldon
Torn between the impulse to stroke his head, and the urge to cave it in with a rock, I did neither.
Diana Gabaldon
Scots have long memories, and they're not the most forgiving of people.
Diana Gabaldon
To see the years touch ye gives me joy, he whispered, for it means that ye live.
Diana Gabaldon
I'll leave it to you, Sassenach, he said dryly, to imagine what it feels like to arrive unexpectedly in the midst of a brothel, in possession of a verra large sausage.
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
Time does not really exist for mothers, with regard to their children. It does not matter greatly how old the child is-in the blink of an eye, a mother can see the child again as they were when they were born, when they learned how to walk, as they were at any age-at any time, even when the child is fully grown or a parent themselves.
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
She sounded as though love were an unfortunate but unavoidable condition.
Diana Gabaldon
I wouldna cross the road to see a scrawny woman if she was stark naked and dripping wet. ~Jamie Fraser
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
Oh, womanly sympathy, love AND food? I said, laughing. Don't want a lot, do you?
Diana Gabaldon
Your face is my heart Sassenach, and the love of you is my soul
Diana Gabaldon
The most irritating thing about cliches, I decided, was how frequently they were true.
Diana Gabaldon
It wasn't a thing I had consciously missed, but having it now reminded me of the joy of it that drowsy intimacy in which a man's body is accessible to you as your own, the strange shapes and textures of it like a sudden extension of your own limbs.
Diana Gabaldon
Your face is my heart
Diana Gabaldon
Don't be afraid. There's the two of us now.
Diana Gabaldon
D'ye think I don't know? he asked softly. It's me that has the easy part now. For if ye feel for me as I do for you-then I'm asking you to tear out your heart and live without it.
Diana Gabaldon
Do you really think we'll ever-- I do, he said with certainty, not letting me finish. He leaned over and kissed my forehead. I know it, Sassenach, and so do you. You were meant to be a mother, and I surely dinna intend to let anyone else father your children.
Diana Gabaldon
