“in every country in which there has been a loss of freedom, where does it begin?
it begins in news media, in public print, in books, and on the proscenium.
that’s where they attack you first right there.
that’s the bread basket.”
-Rod Serling, writer, creator of ‘the twilight zone’

The more I read about Rod Serling, the more I have learned that he was so much more than just the man I used to see introducing episodes of The Twilight Zone. I follow his daughter on Twitter, and she reveals just what an interesting man he was.

True and wise words from Rod Serling. Chilling though.
