More quotes by 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
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
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 would guess that the price of the script really is secondary. The credit is much more the essence.
Rod Serling
Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man, that state is obsolete.
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
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
I don't believe in reincarnation. That's a cop-out, I know. I don't really want to be reincarnated.
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
I don't feel, God dictated that I should write.
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.
Rod Serling
The Chancellor, the late Chancellor, was only partly correct, he was obsolete. But so was the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man, that state is obsolete. A case to be filed under 'M' for mankind... in the Twilight Zone.
Rod Serling
I write much better in the nonconfines of the early morning than I do the clutter of the day.
Rod Serling
Bias and prejudice make me angry...more than anything.
Rod Serling
You unlock the door with the key of imagination.
Rod Serling
Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.
Rod Serling
Justice can span years. Retribution is not subject to a calendar.
Rod Serling
If survival calls for the bearing of arms, bear them you must. But the most important part of the challenge is for you to find another means that does not come with the killing of your fellow man.
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
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.
Rod Serling
