Quote

It has forever been thus: So long as men write what they think, then all of the other freedoms - all of them - may remain intact. And it is then that writing becomes a weapon of truth, an article of faith, an act of courage.

Ideas are born from what is smelled, heard, seen, experienced, felt, emotionalized.
Rod Serling
Image
You can become much more independent, much more courageous with a bank account. And also, much more independent and self-reliant when you know you have money behind you.

Image
Seeing does not always believe.
Rod Serling
Image
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.

Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being.

How can you put out a meaningful drama when every fifteen minutes proceedings are interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits with toilet paper? No dramatic art form should be dictated and controlled by men whose training and instincts are cut of an entirely different cloth. The fact remains that these gentlemen sell consumer goods, not an art form.

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.

Image
I write much better in the nonconfines of the early morning than I do the clutter of the day.
Rod Serling
Image
Why do I write? I guess that's been asked of every writer. I don't know. It isn't any massive compulsion.

All the Dachaus must remain standing.

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.
Rod Serling
Image
I think I would like to be in Victorian times. Small town. Bandstands. Summer. That kind of thing. Without disease.
Rod Serling
Image
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
Image
Bias and prejudice make me angry...more than anything.

Image
for civilization to survive, the human race has to remain civilized.
Rod Serling
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I'm afraid that if I started to ponder who I am and what I am, I might not like what I find.

You can be a hunchback and a dwarf and what-all. If you write beautifully, you can write beautifully.
