“If I’m still terribly ugly, is there any other alternative? Could I please be put away?” #S2E6 Twilight Zone's "Eye of the Beholder" by Rod Serling

"I've seen him in crowds. I've watched for him. Every time someone I knew died, he was there." #S3E16 Twilight Zone’s "Nothing in the Dark" stars Gladys Cooper and Robert Redford.

"What was that thing I ran into out there?" "Oh, you mean in the car. Sorry about that, but we had to stop you. It was an energy field. A wall of loosely-packed atoms. Purely an emergency device." #S4E3 Twilight Zone's "Valley of the Shadow" stars Ed Nelson and David Opatoshu.

"I'll tell you why I came, Mr. Wordsworth. To prove to you that the State has no fears, none at all." #S2E29 Twilight Zone's "The Obsolete Man" by Rod Serling stars Burgess Meredith and Fritz Weaver.

"As we learned to reshape the features, remold the body, we also learned to eliminate most of the causes of illness—and thus to prolong life." #S5E17 Richard Long in Twilight Zone's "Number 12 Looks Just Like You"

"Whenever I'd get a call for a Twilight Zone, my agent would say, 'Well, I'll get a script and send it to you,' and I'd say, 'I don't need it. If it's the Twilight Zone, I want to do it!'" — Lamont Johnson, director of eight TZs, including "The Shelter" and "Nothing in the Dark"

50 years ago—on June 28, 1975—Rod Serling dies. "I just want them to remember me 100 years from now. I don’t care that they’re not able to quote a single line that I’ve written. But just that they can say, 'Oh, he was a writer.' That’s sufficiently an honored position for me.”
