Movie quotes

  • (..) Stronger than a hundred men! Born of cold and winter air And mountain rain combining. This icy force both Foul and Fair. Has a frozen heart worth mining. Cut through the heart, Cold and Clear. Strike for love and strike for fear. There's beauty and there's Danger here. Split the ice apart! (..)
