If you want to prove that God is not dead, first prove that man is alive.
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

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

Image
Every Superstate has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and the truth is a menace.
