Quotes / Ice Queen

"I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold
I'm so hot for her, I'm on fire for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold"

— The Rolling Stones, "She's So Cold"

My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

—Hozier, "Take Me to Church"

I've seen it before, it happens all the time
You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
You're digging for gold, you're throwing away
A fortune in feelings, but someday you'll pay

—Foreigner, "Cold as Ice"

''Remember the blizzard, back in Manhattan
In eighteen-eighty-six
They say that traffic was tied up
And folks were in a fix
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame gave a chump such an ice-cold "No"
For seven days they shoveled snow

— Gilda, "Put The Blame On Mame"

Night... silent night
Snow on the roof
My breath turned to ice
My mind was aloof

— "I Dined With The Swans", by The Vision Bleak

What I mean is, all I need is
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice

— "Ice" by Lights

"I remember her. She bumped into the Titanic once and sank it!"

Irene, you have such a soft voice and you say the cruelest things.

—June, The Forsyte Saga (2002 series)

For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die?

— Aragorn, The Lord of the Rings

"The Winter Woman is as wild as a blizzard, as fresh as new snow. While some see her as cold, she has a fiery heart under that ice-queen exterior. She likes the stark simplicity of Japanese art and the daring complexity of Russian literature. She prefers sharp to flowing lines, brooding to pouting, and rock and roll to country and western. Her drink is vodka, her car is German, her analgesic is Advil. The Winter Woman likes her men weak and her coffee strong. She is prone to anemia, hysteria, and suicide."

— Christopher Moore, Bloodsucking Fiends

There's a crystal at the heart of every tear
Upon reflection making her perfection clear
And she is blue as a jewel
Clear as ice, kind and cruel

— Be Bop Deluxe, "Blue As A Jewel"

On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing...

— "Ice Queen", Within Temptation

"January Jones was a test, and they FAILED. January Jones is the closest thing we have to a current-day Sword in the Stone situation. If notoriously not-into-it January Jones is at your party looking like the WASP version of Grumpy Cat, that’s a challenge to turn that frown upside down. You do what it takes: booze, topless hunks, more e-cigs. And on the day that January does crack a smile, the curse of her chronic grouch face will be slain, and the person responsible will be our new lord and king."

—Michael K., "January Jones was at ComicCon and looked like she’d rather be getting a fire ant enema"

your icy voice put out the stars
it cracked my heart, and broke it in splinters
your tone as cold as Colorado winters

— Linda Goodman, "Venus Trines at Midnight"

"She's beautiful, alright. But she has a personality like the inside of a refrigerator."

— Bob Davis, You Were Never Lovelier

A female figure appeared, lancing in from a point unknown, laying her hands on the globe, and propelling it before her in the direction of Earth's sun. She was black-haired, beautiful, and colder than the emptiness about her.

— A Force of Four

"Oh, Cersei is lovely to look at, truly, but cold... the way she guards her cunt, you'd think she had all the gold of Casterly Rock between her legs."

— King Robert Baratheon, A Song of Ice and Fire

Jesse Fischer: What is she like? Is she cool?

Prof. Hoberg: She's definitely not warm.

— Both men talking about Prof. Judith Fairfield, Liberal Arts

The mercenary blushed slightly. Where the hell did that come from? She wasn't some girly-girl from the city who was in love with a dashing foreigner! She then sighed as she realized the kind of person she was thinking about. Kyril Sutherland wasn't a warm person at all. He was cold, tired and sad. A bloodstained blade that was arranged against their terrible enemies. She didn't know what had happened in his life that had hardened his heart, but she knew it would take a momentous amount of work to get into it.

— The Night Unfurls
