Diana Gabaldon Quote
I’m a man, Sassenach, he said, very softly. If I thought there was a choice … then I maybe couldna do it. Ye dinna need to be so brave about things if ye ken ye canna help it, aye? He looked at me then, with a faint smile. Like a woman in childbirth, aye? Ye must do it, and it makes no difference if you’re afraid—ye’ll do it. It’s only when ye ken ye can say no that it takes courage.
