these are a few of my favorite quotes from Diana Gabaldon's 3rd book in her Outlander series Voyager:
Bloodshot blue eyes gleamed wide with alarm, under the spikes of matted red hair. "Where are ye sending me?" Turning from the door, Melton cast him a glance of intense dislike. "you're the laird of Broch Tuarach, aren't you? Well thats where i'm sending you." "I dinna want to go home! I want to be shot!"
"Jamie had that," she said softly, as though to herself. "He wasn't a man to turn away from anything he thought his job. Dangerous or not. And i think he won't have felt himself wasted, no matter what happened to him."
"James MacKenzie Fraser," he murmured. He looked up from the paper to the sleping women on the sofa. The light had just touched the curve of her ear; she stirred briefly and turned her head, then her face lapsed back into somnolence. "I don't know who you were, mate," he wispered to the unseen Scot, "but you must have been something, to deserve her."
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 here on the dusty floor, crying in each others arms with the longing of twenty years spilling down our faces.
"I've seen ye so many times," he said his voice whispering warm in my ear. "You've come to me so often. When i dreamed sometimes. When i lay in fever. When i was so afraid and so lonely i knew i must di. When i needed you, i would always see ye, smiling, with your hair curling up about your face. But ye never spoke. And ye never touched me." "I can touch you now." I reached up and drew my hand gently down his temple, his ear, the cheek and jaw that i could see. My hand went to the ape of his neck, under the clubbed bronze hair, and he raised his head at last, and cupped my face between his hands, love glowing strong in the dark blue eyes. "Dinna be afraid," he said softly. "There's the two of us now."
"I had forgotten," he sai, a moment later. "Forgotten what?" His back was warm through the thin shirt. "Everything." He spoke very softly, mout against my hair. "Joy. Fear. Fear, most of all." His hand came up and smoothed my curls away from his nose. "I havena ben afraid for a verra long time, Sassenach," he whispered. "But now i think i am. For there is something to be lost, now."
"For so many years," he said, "for so long, i have been so many things, so many different men." I felt him swallow, and he shifted slightly, the linen of his nightshirt rustling with starch. "I was 'Uncle' to Jenny's children, and 'Brother' to her and Ian. 'Milord' to Fergus, and 'Sir' to my enants. 'Mac Dubh' to th men of Ardsmuir and 'MacKenzie' to the other servants at Helwater. 'Malcome the printer,' then, and 'Jamie Roy' at the docks." The hand stroked my hair, slowly, with a whispering sound like the wind outside. "But here," he said, so softly i could barely hear him, "here in the dark, with you...I have no name."
The small vibration in his chest this time was laughter, not cold. "Take ye and be damned for it, i expect," he said. He kissed my forehead gently."Loving you has put me through hell more than once, Sassenach; I'll risk it again, if need be." "Bah," I said. "And you think loving you's been a bed of roses, do you?" This time he laughed out loud. "No," he said, "but you'll maybe keep doing it?" "Maybe i will, at that." "You're a verra stubborn women," he said the smile clear in his voice "It bloody takes one to know one," i said, and then we were both quiet for quite some time.
"I think she will do verra well," he whispered. "For no matter what poor gowk has fathered her, no lass has ever had a better mother. Kiss me, Sassenach, for believe me -- I wouldna change ye for the world."
"Too late," he said, with breathless certainty. "I must have ye, or die."
"Then kiss me, Claire," he whispered. "And know that you are more to me than life, and i have no regret."
"Damn you, Sassenach!" his voice said, from a very great distance. His voice was choked with passion. "Damn you! I swear if ye die on me, I'll Kill you!"

These are a few of my favorite quotes from Diana Gabaldons second book Dragonfly in Amber:
"I am certainly upset," I began, "but I'm not mad." I stopped, struggling for control. his wasn't the way I'd intended to do it. I didn't know quite what I had intended, but not this, blurting out the truth without preparation or time to organize my own thoughts. Seeing that bloody grave had disrupted any plan I might have formed.
"Damn you, Jamie Fraser!" I said, furious. "What are you doing there anyway; it's miles from Culloden!""And yet"---he turned me toward him, hand closing gently over one breast ---"yet when I think of you wi' my child at your breast....then I feel as though I've gone hollow as a soap bubble, and perhaps I shall burst with joy."
He pressed me tight against his chest, and I hugged him with all my might. "Oh, Claire, ye do break my heart wi' loving you.""Well, I'll tell ye, Sassenach, 'graceful' is possibly not the first word that springs to mind at thought of you." He slipped an arm behind me, one hand large and warm around my silk-clad shoulder. "But I talk to you as I talk to my own soul," he said, turning me to face him. He reached up and cupped my cheek, fingers light on my temple. "And, Sassenach," he whispered, "your face is my heart."
"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."
"Don't move, Sassenach," Jamie's voice came softly, next to me. "Just for a moment, mo duinne---be still." I obligingly froze, until he touched me on the shoulder. "That's all right, Sassenach," he said, with a smile in his voice. "It's only that ye looked so beautiful, wi' the fire on your face, and your hair waving in the wind. I wanted to remember it."
I turned to face him, then, and smiled at him, across the body of the child. The night was dark and cold, alive with people all around, but there was nothing where we sat but light and warmth---and each other.He heaved a deep exasperated sigh. "Sassenach, I've been stabbed, bitten, slapped, and whipped since supper---which I dinna get to finish. I dinna like to scare children and I dinna like to flog men, and I've had to do both. I've two hundred English camped three miles away and no idea what to do about them. I'm tired, I'm hungry, and I'm sore. If you've anything like womanly sympathy about ye, I could use a bit!"
"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."
"You can't tell," I said, at last. "It's much too soon to be sure."
He snorted briefly, and a tiny flicker of amusement lit his eyes.
"And me a farmer, too! Sassenach, ye havena been a day late in your courses, in all the time since ye first took me to your bed. Ye havena bled now in forty-six days." "You bastard!" I said, outraged. "You counted! In the middle of a bloody war, you counted!" "Didn't you?""Claire," he said quietly. "Tomorrow I will die. This child....is all that will be left of me- --ever. I ask ye, Claire---I beg you---see it safe." I stood still, vision blurring, and in that moment, I heard my heart break. It was a small, clean sound, like the snapping of a flower's stem.
At last I bent my head to him, the wind grieving in my ears. "Yes," I whispered. "Yes, I'll go.""I will find you," he whispered in my ear. "I promise. 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 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." His voice dropped, nearly to a whisper, and his arms tightened around me. "Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well."
"Cut me," I said urgently. "Deep enough to leave a scar. I want to take away your touch with me, to have something of you that will stay with me, always. I don't care if it hurts; nothing could hurt more than leaving you. At least when I touch it, wherever I am, I can feel your touch on me."
Unwrapping the blood-spotted handkerchief, I pressed my wounded hand tightly against his, fingers gripped together. The blood was warm and slick, not yet sticky between our hands.
"Blood of my Blood..." I whispered.
"...and Bone of my Bone," he answered softly. Neither of us could finish the vow, "so long as we both shall live," but the unspoken words hung aching between us. finally he smiled crookedly. "Longer than that," he said firmly, and pulled me to him once more.quotes from book 3 will come later :)
