| fc2cd80 | It's my fault," I said softly. I touched his face, the thick brows, wide mouth, and the sprouting stubble along the clean,long jaw. "Mine. If I hadn't come...and told you what would happen..." I felt a true sorrow for his corruption, and shared a sense of loss for the naive, gallant lad he had been. And yet...what choice had either of us truly had, being who we were? I had had to tell him, and he had had to act on it." | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| 61ebb3f | We come and go from mystery and, in between, we try to forget. | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| 6c4856b | He went on loving her," she whispered, as much to herself as to anyone else. "He didn't forget her." "Of course he didna forget her." She opened her eyes to see Ian's long face and kind brown eyes six inches away. A broad work-worn hand rested on hers, warm and hard, a hand even larger than her own. "Neither did we," he said." | Diana Gabaldon | ||

| 3ffdc8e | People disappear all the time. Ask any policeman. Better yet. ask a journalist. Disappearances are bread-and-butter to journalists. Young girls run away from home. Young children stray from their parents and are never seen again. Housewives reach the end of their tether and take the grocery money and a taxi to the station. International financiers change their names and vanishe into the smoke of imported cigars. Many of the lost will be fou.. | Diana Gabaldon | ||

| 4ec009d | Some were in Gaelic and some in English, used apparently according to which language best fitted the rhythm of the words, for all of them had a beauty to the speaking, beyond the content of the tale itself. | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| 7172410 | Quite without thought, he glanced at his left hand, and saw the ghost of the scar at the base of his thumb, the "C" so faded that it was scarcely visible. He had not noticed it or thought of it in years, and felt suddenly as though there was not air enough to breathe." | Diana Gabaldon | ||

| b55ac78 | Nice clothes are all very well, but if gossip and scheming and worry and silly parties and tiny rules of etiquette go with them ... no. I'd as soon live in my shift and say what I like. | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| 8588f6e | If I were marooned here till it suited my overbearing, domineering, pig-headed jackass of a husband to finish risking his stupid neck, I'd use the time to see what I could spot. | diana-gabaldon jamie-fraser outlander | Diana Gabaldon | |
| 938d59f | Men are made in God's image, or so I am told. Likewise that we differ from the animals in having reason. Reason, therefore, must plainly be a characteristic of the Almighty, quod erat demonstrandum. Is it reasonable, then, to create men whose very nature-- clearly constructed and defined by yourself-- is inimical to your own laws and must lead inevitably to destruction? Whatever would be the point of that? Does it not strike you as a most c.. | god homosexuality | Diana Gabaldon | |
| ec7727d | One never stops to think what underlies romance. Tragedy and terror, transmuted by time. Add a little art in the telling, and voila! a stirring romance, to make the blood run fast and maidens sigh. | Diana Gabaldon | ||

| d0e15ab | Feel my heart," he said. His voice sounded thick to his own ears. "Tell me if it stops." | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| a819263 | Twenty-four years ago today, I married ye, Sassenach," he said softly. "I hope ye willna have cause yet to regret it." | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| a7a9ef3 | You are my courage, as I am your conscience," he whispered. "You are my heart--and I your compassion. We are neither of us whole, alone. Do ye not know that, Sassenach?" "I do know that," I said, and my voice shook. "That's why I'm so afraid. I don't want to be half a person again, I can't bear it." | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| c83561b | I had not slept with many men other than my husband, but I noticed before that to sleep, actually sleep with someone did give this sense of intimacy, as though your dreams had flowed out of you to mingle with his and fold you both in a blanket of unconsciousness knowing. A throwback of some kind, I thought. In older, more primitive times, it was an act of trust to sleep in the presence of another person. If the trust was mutual, simple slee.. | outlander trust truth | Diana Gabaldon | |

| 6a0bbc8 | I didn't know what it was about red hair, but many years' experience with Jamie, Brianna, and Jemmy had taught me that while most people became irritable when hungry, a redheaded person with an empty stomach was a walking time bomb. | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| 222d4c3 | But the future reaches out to us, as does the past, and all times are the present. | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| 9ba59bd | My father always said that was the difference between an American and an Englishman. An Englishman thinks a hundred miles is a long way; an American thinks a hundred years is a long time. | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| c98b31b | If it was killing-and it was- then I thought it not murder, but a justifiable homicide, undertaken in desperate self defense. | Diana Gabaldon | ||

| e7afd5b | I love you," he murmured. "Oh, Bree, I do love you." She didn't answer, but a hand floated up from the dark and lay along his cheek, gentle as a tendril of seaweed. She kept it there while he took her, laid open in trust, while her other hand held his beating heart." | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| 447da7f | They're girls," she replied briefly. "They were born in danger and will live their lives in that condition, regardless of circumstance." | Diana Gabaldon | ||

| 100a378 | Os livros sao portas que te levam para a rua (...). Com eles aprendes, educas-te, viajas, sonhas, imaginas, vives outras vidas e multiplicas a tua por mil. Quem te oferece mais por menos (...)? E tambem servem para manter a distancia muitas coisas negativas (...) As vezes interrogo-me como conseguem superar as coisas, aquelas [pessoas] que nao leem. | Arturo Pérez-Reverte | ||
| 1e4e252 | El mundo nunca supo tanto de si mismo y de su naturaleza como ahora, pero no le sirve de nada. Siempre hubo maremotos, fijese. Lo que pasa es que antes no pretendiamos tener hoteles de lujo en primera linea de playa... El hombre crea eufemismos y cortinas de huo para negar las leyes de la naturaleza. Tambien para negar la infame condicion que le es propia. Y cada despertar le cesta los doscientos muertos de un avion que se cae, los doscient.. | Arturo Pérez-Reverte | ||
