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.

More quotes by 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
If you need drugs to be a good writer, you are not a good writer.
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
Most screenplays, most motion pictures, owe much more to the screenplay. Ingmar Bergman has such an economy of language, so little language in his piece, it is so visual, his moods are introduced and buttressed by camera rather than by word or character. But again, that's unique.
Rod Serling
Coming up with ideas is the easiest thing on earth. Putting them down is the hardest.
Rod Serling
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.'
Rod Serling
If you have the temerity to try to dramatize a theme that involves any particular social controversy currently extant. . . then you're in deep trouble.
Rod Serling
Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being.
Rod Serling
Whenever you write, whatever you write, never make the mistake of assuming the audience is any less intelligent than you are.
Rod Serling
Every Superstate has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and the truth is a menace.
Rod Serling
Hollywood's a great place to live... if you're a grapefruit.
Rod Serling
It's part of the business of really not caring about topping myself because I really don't care what's going to happen. I think just surviving is a major thing. I'd like to write something that my peers, my colleagues, my fellow writers would find a source of respect.
Rod Serling
Justice can span years. Retribution is not subject to a calendar.
Rod Serling
Over the long haul I'd say that most directors I've worked with have been pretty sensitive to the quality of the interpreted scenes.
Rod Serling
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.
Rod Serling
There are weapons that are simply thoughts. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy.
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 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
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
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
