Claire Fraser: I thought just Highlanders were stubborn as rocks.
Tom Christie: Stubborn as rocks?
Claire Fraser: Mr. Christie is refusing to...
Tom Christie: Mistress Fraser insists...
Claire Fraser: God wants him to have the surgery, but the masochist is refusing the Ether.
Tom Christie: "Masochist"?
Claire Fraser: Well, it's a word for... people who prefer to suffer pain.

Jamie Fraser: ...if their parents think he's demon-born, I'm his grandsire, and ye're his granny, what does that say about us?

Tom Christie: Why do you never wear a proper kerch or cap?
Claire Fraser: Why should I?
Tom Christie: 'Cause every pious married woman should.
Claire Fraser: "And every woman who prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head. For that is just as if she were shaven." Are we back to Saint Paul again? Ever occur to you that man had quite the bee in his bonnet about women?

Claire Fraser: ... What changed your mind?
Tom Christie: Ardsmuir. You know, we had no books there, but Mr. Fraser was accustomed to recount the stories he had read to the other prisoners. ... And I saw that fiction was perhaps not, as I had thought, merely an inducement of idleness and wicked fancy, a confection of lies.
Claire Fraser: Surely there's a difference between lying and telling a distracting tale.
Tom Christie: Oh, it was distraction, to be sure. In such conditions, distraction is, uh, not evil, while it is, of course, more desirable to escape into prayer.
Claire Fraser: Of course.
Tom Christie: But... it drew the men together. You would not think that such men... Crofters, Highlanders... would find themselves in sympathy with such situations. They were... they were starved, cold, covered in sores, separated from their families, yet they could take comfort in never having suffered such vicissitudes as had befallen these imaginary beings.

Jamie Fraser: Ye're the only one who can show yer son what a "useless" man like ye can achieve and how proud he can make his father. Ye dinna ken. But it's you, not what you do or... give or provide. It's you we need... to come home.
Fergus: I'm not who I once was, milord. I don't know if I can be that man again.
Jamie Fraser: You can. You will.

Claire Fraser: The Boston Tea Party...
Major MacDonald: Oh, so you've heard. An inconvenience, certainly. Imagine the King will view it as an act of outright aggression.

Jamie Fraser: What does it mean, Sassenach?
Claire Fraser: It's starting. The storm, the war... it's almost here.
