There’s nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility is being superior to your former self. – Ernest Hemingway

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. - Rod Serling

I have indeed. Two of the most memorable bits for me are, from the series, when a man started hearing people dropping the word dinosaur into their sentences, until finally all he heard was people saying dinosaur, and in the film, when someone says, do you want to see something really scary?

Hobilar

'It oughtn't to need a war to make a nation paint its kerbstones white, carry rear-lamps on its bicycles, and give all its slum children a holiday in the country. And it oughtn't to need a war to make us talk to each other in buses, and invent our own amusements in the evenings, and live simply, and eat sparingly, and recover the use of our legs, and get up early enough to see the sun rise. However, it has needed one: which is about the severest criticism our civilisation could have.'

'Mrs Miniver', The Times, 25 September 1939
