Quotes by Rod Serling
-
Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.
Read quote -
In eleven or twelve years of writing, Mike, I can lay claim to at least this: I have never written beneath myself. I have never written anything that I didn't want my name attached to. I have probed deeper in some scripts and I've been more successful in some than others. But all of them that have been on, you know, I'll take my lick. They're mine and that's the way I wanted them.

Read quote -
There are weapons that are simply thoughts. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy.
