They want a woman they can dominate, but then they hate her for being weak. It's an ambivalence that goes back to a man's relationship with his mother. Source of his life, center of his universe, object of both his fear and his love.
- Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Cicely, 1992
- If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.
- Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Cicely, 1992
