More quotes by Rod Serling

Rod Serling
I'd love to be able to write an in-depth piece of what causes men like [Richard] Nixon and [H.R.]Haldeman and [John] Ehrlichman and all the rest of them not only to run, but what causes us to vote for them.
Rod Serling
The tendency when you dictate is to overwrite, because you're not counting pages, you don't really know what the hell the page count is.
Rod Serling
Every Superstate has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and the truth is a menace.
Rod Serling
I'm an affluent screenwriter and all that - I'm a known screenwriter, but I'm not in the fraternity of the very, very major people. I would say a guy like Ernie Lehman, William Goldman, and a few others are quite a cut above.

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
I choose to think of tv audience as nameless, formless, faceless people who are all like me. And anything that I write, if I like it, they'll like it.
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
Ideas are born from what is smelled, heard, seen, experienced, felt, emotionalized.
Rod Serling
If you want to prove that God is not dead, first prove that man is alive.
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
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
If you write beautifully, you write beautifully, that's all.
Rod Serling
Infinitely more taboos, on television.
Rod Serling
Coming up with ideas is the easiest thing on earth. Putting them down is the hardest.
Rod Serling
Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.
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
Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being.
Rod Serling
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.
Rod Serling
