My latest favorite quote from Written in My Own Hearts Blood by Diana Gabaldon: ...You wouldnt have fresh arrowhead down there, would you? I hadnt thought to put that on my list, but if it was available... Oh, yes! she cried, beaming. Masses of it! We were standing in the largest of the drying sheds, and the late-afternoon light falling through the boards striped the walls with bars of swimming gold, illuminating the constant rain of tiny pollen grains from the drying flowers. There was a scatter of tools on the table, and she plucked a wooden trowel and a stubby knife from the litter without hesitation. Would you like to dig your own? I laughed with pleasure. The opportunity to grub around in the wet mud wasnt an offer most women would have made- especially to another woman dressed in pale-blue muslin. But Miss Bartram spoke my language. I hadnt had my hands in the earth in months, and the mere suggestion made my fingers tingle. ...Ms. Gabaldon definitely speaks my language!!! My favorite author ever, ever, ever. A brilliant woman indeed.
