Claire and Jamie’s most romantic ‘Outlander’ quotes

If you haven’t become acquainted with Starz’s seriously sexy Scottish series, Outlander… what are you waiting for? Based on Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling novels, this steamy period drama follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world and her life is threatened.

If you’ve already been indoctrinated into Gabaldon’s or Starz’s scintillating universe, some of these might ring a bell (or maybe you could rattle most of them off by heart). Either way, these quotes will pull you in like a Sassenach lass on a hot day.
