Subject: QOTD for Thursday. September 21, 2023 from “ The Fiery Cross” by Diana Gabaldon. Published 2001




Prologue (I never noticed before, but so far FC and Outlander don’t have the word prologue on the prologue page. So far the others I used did and it was all caps)



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, would I walk through fire again.




Again, wow!! I got goosebumps as I typed this. How about the foreshadowing of “bones?!” As I read them again after reading all the books they’re ALL dark. I do remember them but haven’t read them recently so it’s good surprises for me each morning.
Like you, Diana, I need rereads from Ashes on. The first five I think I can quote whole paragraphs. Lol. But the last four still aren’t so firmly planted.
