Quotations by Author

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, All is Vanity, 1991

Men are confused. They're conflicted. They want a woman who's their intellectual equal, but they're afraid of women like that.

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

I am going to concentrate on what's important in life. I'm going to strive everyday to be a kind and generous and loving person. I'm going to keep death right here, so that anytime I even think about getting angry at you or anybody else, I'll see death and I'll remember.
