Welcome back to Thursday Quotables! This weekly feature is the place to highlight a great quote, line, or passage discovered during your reading each week.  Whether it’s something funny, startling, gut-wrenching, or just really beautifully written, Thursday Quotables is where my favorite lines of the week will be, and you’re invited to join in!

The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon
(first published 2001)

I’m in the midst of a major fit of Outlander obsession, just finishing a super-speedy re-read of The Fiery Cross (book #5 in the series). There are so many quotable moments, especially when it comes to Jamie and Claire. This one is just perfect, I think, and always makes me sigh.

PS – I loved this passage so much, I just had to decorate it! My graphic design abilities are pretty limited, but I do like the way this one came out!

What lines made you laugh, cry, or gasp this week? Do tell!
