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
If you write beautifully, you write beautifully, that's all.
Rod Serling
Why do I write? I guess that's been asked of every writer. I don't know. It isn't any massive compulsion.
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
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
Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.
Rod Serling
If you need drugs to be a good writer, you are not a good writer.
Rod Serling
All the Dachaus must remain standing.
Rod Serling
I don't feel, God dictated that I should write.
Rod Serling
Seeing does not always believe.
Rod Serling
If you want to prove that God is not dead, first prove that man is alive.
Rod Serling
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.
Rod Serling
Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being.
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
Bias and prejudice make me angry...more than anything.
Rod Serling
If in any quest for magic, in any search for sorcery, witchery, legerdemain, first check the human spirit.
Rod Serling
The tendency when you dictate is to overwrite, because you're not counting pages, you don't really know what the hell the page count is.
Rod Serling
Hollywood's a great place to live... if you're a grapefruit.
Rod Serling
I would guess that Ray Bradbury would be equally resentful of what they did with Illustrated Man, which, you know, took a central idea thesis of his and pissed all over it - made it into one of the worst movies ever made.
Rod Serling
The ultimate obscenity is not caring, not doing something about what you feel, not feeling! Just drawing back and drawing in becoming narcissistic.
Rod Serling
I don't have any system. I dictate a lot, through a machine, and I also have a secretary. But I used to type just like everybody else.
