Movie quotes

  • (..) I don't care what they're going to say. Let the storm rage on. The cold never bothered me anyway. It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small. And the fears that once controlled me. Can't get to me at all. It's time to see what I can do, To test the limits and Break through. I'm free! (..)

  • (..) Hup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go! Hup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go! Beautiful! Powerful! Dangerous! Cold! Ice has a magic Can't be controlled. Stronger than one, Stronger than ten. Stronger than a hundred men! Born of cold and winter air And mountain rain combining. (..)
