Remember… grab a hold of your baby, hold her tight, ‘cause Baron Daemon is flying tonight. If you see a weird shadow or hear a strange sound, scream your little heads off - the Baron’s around! — Baron Daemon and the Vampires, Transylvania Twist, 1963

Remember… people often say to me, “You write such strong female characters,” and I say, “Well, I don't like stupid women.” Claire has always had a mind of her own. She was quite accidental to begin with. I needed a female character to play off against all the men in kilts so I introduced an English woman - I had no idea who she was or how she got there, but I loosed her into a cottage of Scotsmen to see what she'd do. — Diana Gabaldon, 2015

Remember… I make art to show my soul that I am listening. — Pat Wiederspan Jones

Remember… Ireland's reputed witches include a four-times-married moneylender; a much-loved healer; a successful seamstress seen as a bit too high and mighty; and eight women from Islandmagee, who were accused of bewitching a young newcomer, in a trial that came to be known as Ireland's Salem… Biddy Early, The Wise Woman of Clare, was born in 1798, reputedly inheriting healing magic from her mother... Her reputation as a herbalist, healer or white witch spread after she moved to Feakle, and Daniel O'Connell was among her clients. Her fame was not based on her healing ability alone: she was in frequent conflict with the Catholic Church, the medical profession, landlords, the police and the judiciary, which made her something of a folk hero. — The Irish Times, 28 October 2017

Remember… I could feel my mouth working, vainly trying different shapes that might approximate words, but there was no connection between tongue and brain — there was room for nothing but the realization that the accustomed soft, heavy weight of my hair was gone, replaced by a fuzz of bristles. — Claire Fraser, A Breath of Snow and Ashes

Remember… I’m so glad you’re home. — Claire Fraser, S04E05 Savages
