Outlander quotes about love
- “If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred years without you–then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But there is the one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest. Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well.”—Jamie Fraser, Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon
- “You are my courage, as I am your conscience. You are my heart—and I your compassion. We are neither of us whole, alone. Do ye not know that, Sassenach?”—Jamie Fraser, Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon
- “And when my body shall cease, my soul will still be yours. Claire–I swear by my hope of heaven, I will not be parted from you.”—Jamie Fraser, Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon
- “When the day shall come that we do part,” he said softly, and turned to look at me, “if my last words are not ‘I love you’-ye’ll ken it was because I didna have time.”—The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon
Outlander quotes about life
- “You invent yourself…You look at other women–or men. You try on their lives for size. You take what you can use, and you look inside yourself for what you can’t find elsewhere. And always…always…you wonder if you’re doing it right.”—Claire Fraser, The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon
- “The war had taught me to cherish the present because tomorrow might not ever come to pass.”—Claire Fraser
- “If time is anything akin to God, I suppose that memory must be the devil.”—Claire Fraser
- “When confronted with the impossible, the rational mind will grope for the logical.”—Claire Fraser
- “By blood and by choice, we make our ghosts; we haunt ourselves.”—Claire Fraser
Outlander quotes about courage
- “I have lived through war and lost much. I know what’s worth the fight, and what is not. Honor and courage are matters of the bone, and what a man will kill for, he will sometimes die for, too. And that, O kinsman, is why a woman has broad hips; that bony basin will harbor a man and his child alike. A man’s life springs from his woman’s bones, and in her blood is his honor christened. For the sake of love alone, I would walk through fire again.”—The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon
- “I’m not the meek and obedient type.”—Claire Fraser
