Ideas are born from what is smelled, heard, seen, experienced, felt, emotionalized.

The Chancellor, the late Chancellor, was only partly correct, he was obsolete. But so was the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man, that state is obsolete. A case to be filed under 'M' for mankind... in the Twilight Zone.

I don't feel, God dictated that I should write.

Justice can span years. Retribution is not subject to a calendar.

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.

I find dictating in the mass media particularly good because you're writing for voice anyway you're writing for people to say a line and, consequently, saying a line through a machine is quite a valid test for the validity of what you're saying.

I ask for your indulgence when I march out quotations. This is the double syndrome of men who write for a living and men who are over forty. The young smoke pot - we inhale from our 'Bartlett's.'

Our greatest responsibility is not to be pencils of the past.

I find it very difficult to live through the censorship of profanity on television.

Infinitely more taboos, on television.

Image
I'm a Western-cultured man who subscribes to the ancient saw that men do not cry, I don't cry either. I'll go to a movie, for example, and not infrequently something triggers the urge to weep, but I don't allow myself.

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… the Twilight Zone.

For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

Whenever you write, whatever you write, never make the mistake of assuming the audience is any less intelligent than you are.

I miss the comraderie of live television - the fact that you were on the set, you worked closely with the director and the cast, that I miss. But, no, I'm happy, I'm happy doing film.

I think I'd rather win, for example, a Writer's Guild award than almost anything on earth. And the few nominations I've had with the guild, and the few awards I've had, represented to me a far more legitimate concrete achievement than anything.

Being like everybody is the same as being nobody.

If in any quest for magic, in any search for sorcery, witchery, legerdemain, first check the human spirit.
Rod Serling
Image
I'm sufficiently independent to know that I can live well and comfortably all the rest of my life whether I'm rejected or not.

Every Superstate has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and the truth is a menace.
