Subject: QOTD

I thought I'd do QOTD, and happened to pick up MOBY. I opened to the first page, and found a great scene. Then I turned to the Second Chapter, and found another. Then the third.....I don't know where the quotes will take me, but I find it fascinating to take the trip

Quote of the day for Sunday, July 28, 2024

Written in My Own Heart's Blood, by Diana Gabaldon. Chapter 1, A Hundredweight of Stones. Copyright 2014, All Rights Reserved

Even as he did so, he found himself shaking his head. No, it had to be two cairns. His mam and Uncle Jamie were brother and sister, and the family could mourn them here together---but there were others he might bring, maybe, to remember and pay their respects. And those were the folks who would have known Jamie Fraser and loved him well but wouldn't ken Jenny Murray from a hole in the---

The image of his mother in a hole in the ground stabbed him like a fork, retreated with the recollection that she wasn't after all in a grave, and stabbed again all the harder for that.

The thought process here, mourning his mam and Uncle Jamie and how Ian's thoughts jump around remind me of times when I lost people who were special to me.

[> Thank you for taking the week. There's no shortage of quotable moments. What I love here is when I first read it I realized that I had forgotten about Jenny believed to be dead as well. The ending of the previous book was so focused on Jamie's return. I felt awful that I had forgotten that Ian believed himself to be orphaned. -- kgp, Mon, July 29 2024, 13:32:34
