Justice can span years. Retribution is not subject to a calendar.

Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.

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.

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.

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

You unlock the door with the key of imagination.

The ultimate obscenity is not caring, not doing something about what you feel, not feeling! Just drawing back and drawing in becoming narcissistic.

Personally, my daughter's wedding gave me a tremendous pleasure.
Rod Serling
Image
There are weapons that are simply thoughts. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy.

Image
I write much better in the nonconfines of the early morning than I do the clutter of the day.

Image
Somehow, some way, incredibly enough, good writing ultimately gets recognized. If you're a really good writer and deserve that honored position, then by God, you'll write, and you'll be read.

I find it very difficult to live through the censorship of profanity on television.

Over the long haul I'd say that most directors I've worked with have been pretty sensitive to the quality of the interpreted scenes.
