Subject: QOTD Sunday, November 25

My theme has changed so many times in compiling this week’s quotes that I decided to just choose my favorites. Some are about how there is nothing new under the sun whether 18th or 21st Centuries. Others are humorous moments that seemed to come out of nowhere. And one had me so curious before I even began Chapter One that I kept reading with growing anticipation!

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 5, Genius and Sub-Genius. Copyright (c) 2007 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.


”Now and then he wished ardently that he had faith in a merciful God and an afterlife in which the dead might live on–Jamie Fraser had such faith; burned with it, in a way that excited both Grey’s curiosity and his envy. But Grey was a rationalist. He accepted the existence of God, but had no conviction of the nature of such a being, and no sense that his creator took a personal interest in him. Just as well, considering.”


Lord John speaks of religion and his views quite frequently in this book. It was a side of him I don’t think we’d glimpsed before. The 21st Century is seeing some remarkable changes in regards to homosexuals and religion.
