• True. There is
  a beautiful Jesus.
  He is frozen to his bones like a chunk of beef.
  How desperately he wanted to pull his arms in!
  How desperately I touch his vertical and horizontal axes!
  But I can't. Need is not quite belief.

  Anne Sexton

  Beautiful, God, Jesus

• Love has no charm
  when Love is swept to earth:
  you'd make a lop-winged god,
  frozen and contrite,
  of god up-darting,
  winged for passionate flight.

• 'Frozen' definitely isn't about a man, but about the relationship between two sisters. At different times in our lives we find ourselves either more connected to or disconnected from the people in our family, and I think audiences will really be able to relate to that.

• Most mothers entering the labor market outside the home are naive. They stagger home each evening, holding mail in their teeth, the cleaning over their arm, a lamb chop defrosting under each armpit, balancing two gallons of frozen milk between their knees, and expect one of the kids to get the door.

• Who are we? And for what are we going to fight? Are we the titled slaves of George the Third? The military conscripts of Napoleon the Great? Or the frozen peasants of the Russian Czar?

• Our reliance in this country is on the inquiring, individual human mind. Our strength is founded there; our resilience, our ability to face an ever-changing future and to master it. We are not frozen into the backward-facing impotence of those societies, fixed in the rigidness of an official dogma, to which the future is the mirror of the past. We are free to make the future for ourselves.

  Archibald MacLeish

• Stand here by my side and turn, I pray,
  On the lake below thy gentle eyes;
  The clouds hang over it, heavy and gray,
  And dark and silent the water lies;
  And out of that frozen mist the snow
  In wavering flakes begins to flow;
  Flake after flake,
  They sink in the dark and silent lake.
