Jamie: I saved your life. This is the choice you give me?
Harnett: You saved my life so I could fight another day. Today is that day, Mr. Fraser. For you, as well.

William: I’d rather die than have you amputate my arm.
Ian: Ye canna do that. You still need a proper death song, aye?

Claire: I wasn’t prepared to join a war tonight. Neither were you. And I won’t let you go without me. They’ll need doctors.
Ian: I’m comin’ with ye too, uncle.
Jamie: No, lad. Sail home to Scotland. I made a promise to your mother.
Ian: You promised we’d return someday, and we will. I love this land. I want to fight for it.

Tom: The Lord does answer prayers, you know.
Claire: What did you pray for?
Tom: You are a most uncomfortable woman.

Claire: We will make it back here one day, won’t we?
Jamie: I never thought I’d see bonny Scotland again. Tis that’s where we’re bound, so aye, we will.
Claire: Jamie, you will always be enough.

Claire: Goodbye, Lizzie.
Lizzie: Maybe if the bairn’s a girl, I’ll name her Claire to keep from missing you too much.

Ian: Mr. Bug. It was by my hand that this woman of great worth has died. I didn’t take her life by malice or of a purpose, and it is a sorrow to me. I swear by my iron, a life for a life.
Mr. Bug: Too easy, lad. Will you give me your hound to kill?
Ian: No. It was my kind, not his.
Mr. Bug: Aye, do you see then? He’s not. He’s a flea-ridden beast, not a wife. When you’ve something worth taking, ye’ll see me again. That I promise ye.

You and your matches. You bombed the house, darling.

Roger

Claire: Well, it’s not January.
Jamie: Nay. And we’re not dead. So much for our obituary.
Claire: Bloody newspapers. Never get anything right.

For your sake, I will continue. But for my own, I would not.

Jamie [to Claire]

What do we learn from the dead, if not the lessons of life? What had Tom Christie taught me since he surely was gone by now? His sacrifice reminded me that we should make an effort to truly live, count our lives in thoughts, feelings, breaths, and heartbeats, not the number of days, months, or years because tomorrow is not promised.

Claire [narration]

Sweet Malva. I failed her. Tom. Now Allan. A whole family gone. The terrible waste of it all.

Claire

Outlander Quotes

Sex was our bridge back to one another. The one place where we always met. Whatever obstacles presented themselves during the day or night, we could seek out and find each other again in bed. As long as we had that, I had faith that everything would work out.

Claire voiceover about Frank

The war had taught me to cherish the present because tomorrow might not ever come to pass. What I didn’t know at the time was that tomorrow would prove less important than yesterday.
