jamie fraser
jamie fraser - Bilingual quotes that celebrate the beauty of language, showcasing meaningful expressions in two unique perspectives.
Diana Gabaldon
The ninth Earl of Ellesmere had his chin thrust out as far as it would go, but the defiant look in his eye was tempered with a certain doubt as he intercepted Jamie's cold blue gaze. Jamie set the horse's hoof down slowly, just as slowly stood up, and drawing himself to his full height of six feet four, put his hands on his hips, looked down at the Earl, three feet six, and said, very softly, No.
Diana Gabaldon
Claire. The name knifed across his heart with a pain that was more racking than anything his body had ever been called on to withstand.
Diana Gabaldon
You'd forgive me for Claire - but not for killing your . . . men. He glanced at the two Craddocks, spotty as a pair of raisin puddings and - Grey's look implied - likely no brighter.
Diana Gabaldon
Jamie. I want you to mark me.What? he said, startled.The tiny sgian dhu he carried in his stocking was lying within reach, its handle of carved staghorn darkagainst the piled clothing. I reached for it and handed it to him.Cut me, I said urgently. Deep enough to leave a scar. I want to take away your touch with me, tohave something of you that will stay with me always. I don't care if it hurts; nothing could hurt more thanleaving you. At least when I touch it, wherever I am, I can feel your touch on me.
Diana Gabaldon
He pressed me firmly to him, and I could feel that he was more than ready to get on with the business at hand. With some surprise, I realized that I was ready too. In fact, whether it was the result of the late hour, the wine, his own attractiveness, or simple deprivation, I wanted him quite badly.
Diana Gabaldon
I loved Frank...I loved him alot. But by that time, Jamie was my heart and the breath of my body. I couldn't leave him. I couldn't.
Diana Gabaldon
It wasn't the risk, I said, flicking my toes at a big black-and-white splotched carp. Or not entirely. It was-well, it was partly fear, but mostly it was that I-I couldn't leave Jamie. I shrugged helplessly. I-simply couldn't.
Diana Gabaldon
I know what it felt . . . like when I . . . thought you were dead, and- A small gasp for breath, and her eyes locked on his. And I wouldn't do that to you. Her bosom fell and her eyes closed.It was a long moment before he could speak.Thank ye, Sassenach, he whispered, and held her small, cold hand between his own and watched her breathe until the moon rose.
Diana Gabaldon
My own eyes went to Jamie, who had come to join Fergus and Ian by the sideboard. Still here, thank God. Tall and graceful, the soft light making shadows in the folds of his shirt as he moved, a fugitive gleam from the long straight bridge of his nose, the auburn wave of his hair. Still mine. Thank God.
Diana Gabaldon
I always wake when you do, Sassenach; I sleep ill without ye by my side.
Diana Gabaldon
Jem made the little Scottish noise again, and Brianna looked sideways at him.Are you doing that on purpose?He looked up at her, surprised. Doing what?Never mind. When you are fifteen, I'm locking you in the cellar.What? Why? he demanded indignantly.Because that's when your father and grandfather started getting into real trouble, and evidently you're going to be just like them.
Diana Gabaldon
Jaime, you must be half-dead"He laughed tiredly, holding me close with one large warm hand on the small of my back."A lot more than half, Sassenach. I'm knackered, and my cock's the only thing too stupid to know it. I canna lie wi' ye without wanting you, but wanting's all I'm like to do.
Diana Gabaldon
And you, my Sassenach? What were you born for? To be lady of a manor, or to sleep in the fields like a gypsy? To be a healer, or a don's wife, or an outlaw's lady?I was born for you, I said simply, and held out my arms to him.
Diana Gabaldon
I'll scream! Likely. If not before, certainly during. I expect they'll hear ye at the next farm; you've got good lungs.
Diana Gabaldon
I had one last try.Does it bother you that I'm not a virgin? He hesitated a moment before answering.Well, no, he said slowly, so long as it doesna bother you that I am. He grinned at my drop-jawed expression, and backed toward the door.Reckon one of us should know what they're doing, he said. The door closed softly behind him; clearly the courtship was over.

Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.
by Mitch Albom
All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.
by Alexander McCall Smith
The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}

In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.
by Alexander McCall Smith
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.
by Mitch Albom
Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
by Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.
by Mitch Albom
But an ink brush, she thinks, is a skeleton key for a prisoner's mind.
by David Mitchell
Where there's bluster, thinks Luisa, there's duplicity
