Go Tell the Bees that I Am Gone (Outlander, #9)

by Diana Gabaldon

It had cost us twenty years apart—years of heartbreak, pain, and danger. It had been worth it.

“WHAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE SWARM IS NOT GOOD FOR THE BEE” (MARCUS AURELIUS)

to an Englishman, a hundred miles is a long way; to an American, a hundred years is a long time.”

“But each one of us is called to live our lives in the smaller moments; to do kindness, to risk our feelings, to take a chance on someone else, to meet the needs of the people we care for. Because God is everywhere, and lives in all of us. Those small moments are His. And He will make of those small things glory…and let His…greatness…shine in…in you.”

The angry, irascible, difficult sons of bitches (of either sex) almost always survived.
