Favorite Rod outro?

Mine is a bit heavy-handed, but true:

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices--to be found only in the minds of men. 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."

Honorable mention:

"For civilization to survive, the human race has to remain civilized. Tonight's very small exercise in logic from the Twilight Zone."


"We know that a dream can be real, but who ever thought that reality could be a dream? We exist, of course, but how, in what way? As we believe, as flesh-and-blood human beings, or are we simply parts of someone's feverish, complicated nightmare? Think about it, and then ask yourself, do you live here, in this country, in this world, or do you live, instead, - in The Twilight Zone?" -- "Shadow Play"

Honorable Mention

"Marsha White in her normal and natural state: a wooden lady with a painted face, who, one month out of the year, takes on the characteristics of someone as normal and as flesh and blood as you and I. But it makes you wonder, doesn't it? Just how normal are we? Just who are the people we nod our hellos to as we pass on the street? A rather good question to ask - particularly in The Twilight Zone." -- "The After Hours"




Just as beautiful is the mid intermission from Walking Distance...""A man can think a lot of thoughts and walk a lot of pavements between afternoon and night. And to a man like Martin Sloan, 'till memory has suddenly become reality, a resolve can come just as clearly and inexorably as stars in the summer night. Martin Sloane is now back in time. And his resolve is to put in a claim to the past.".


George Clayton Johnson wrote this one though it's very much in the spirit of Mr. Serling.

"Sunnyvale Rest, a dying place for ancient people, who have forgotten the fragile magic of youth. A dying place for those who have forgotten that childhood, maturity, and old age are curiously intertwined and not separate. A dying place for those who have grown too stiff in their thinking - to visit - The Twilight Zone." -- "Kick The Can"
