More quotes by Rod Serling
I'm afraid that if I started to ponder who I am and what I am, I might not like what I find.
Rod Serling
I think I would like to be in Victorian times. Small town. Bandstands. Summer. That kind of thing. Without disease.
Rod Serling
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.
Rod Serling
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.
Rod Serling
I don't feel, God dictated that I should write.
Rod Serling
I find it very difficult to live through the censorship of profanity on television.
Rod Serling
The most important thing about the first sale is for the very first time in your life something written has value and proven value because somebody has given you money for the words that you've written, and that's terribly important, it's a tremendous boon to the ego, to your sense of self-reliance, to your feeling about your own talent.
Rod Serling
Every Superstate has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and the truth is a menace.
Rod Serling
Somehow, some way, incredibly enough, good writing ultimately gets recognized. If you're a really good writer and deserve that honored position, then by God, you'll write, and you'll be read.
Rod Serling
Good evening, and welcome to a private showing of three paintings, displayed here for the first time. Each is a collectors' item in its own way - not because of any special artistic quality, but because each captures on a canvas, and suspends in time and space, a frozen moment of a nightmare.
Rod Serling
I'm an affluent screenwriter and all that - I'm a known screenwriter, but I'm not in the fraternity of the very, very major people. I would say a guy like Ernie Lehman, William Goldman, and a few others are quite a cut above.
Rod Serling
I would guess that the price of the script really is secondary. The credit is much more the essence.
Rod Serling
You see. No shock. No engulfment. No tearing assunder. What you feared would come like an explosion is like a whisper. What you thought was the end is the beginning.
Rod Serling
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices . . . . And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.
Rod Serling
Being like everybody is the same as being nobody.
Rod Serling
You can be a hunchback and a dwarf and what-all. If you write beautifully, you can write beautifully.
Rod Serling
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.
Rod Serling
If survival calls for the bearing of arms, bear them you must. But the most important part of the challenge is for you to find another means that does not come with the killing of your fellow man.
Rod Serling
Hollywood's a great place to live... if you're a grapefruit.
Rod Serling
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.
Rod Serling
