More quotes by Rod Serling
This highway leads to the shadowy tip of reality: you're on a through route to the land of the different, the bizarre, the unexplainable...Go as far as you like on this road. Its limits are only those of mind itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, you're entering the wondrous dimension of imagination. . . Next stop The Twilight Zone.
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
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
Personally, my daughter's wedding gave me a tremendous pleasure.
Rod Serling
You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead—your next stop, the Twilight Zone.
Rod Serling
You unlock the door with the key of imagination.

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 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
I find it very difficult to live through the censorship of profanity on television.
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
Being like everybody is the same as being nobody.
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 need drugs to be a good writer, you are not a good writer.
Rod Serling
All the Dachaus must remain standing.
Rod Serling
Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being.
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
When I dig back through memory cells, I get one particularly distinctive feeling-and that's one of warmth, comfort and well-being. For whatever else I may have had, or lost, or will find-I've still got a hometown. This, nobody's gonna take away from me.
Rod Serling
