WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/serling-rod/74965/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Rod Serling</b></a></p><blockquote>LYMAN: He’s not the enemy. Scott, the Joint Chiefs, even the very emotional, very illogical lunatic fringe: they’re not the enemy. The enemy’s an age — a nuclear age. It happens to have killed man’s faith in his ability to influence what happens to him. And out of this comes a sickness, and out of sickness a frustration, a feeling of impotence, helplessness, weakness. And from this, this desperation, we look for a champion in red, white, and blue. Every now and then a man on a white horse rides by, and we appoint him to be our personal god for the duration. For some men it was a Senator McCarthy, for others it was a General Walker, and now it’s a General Scott.</blockquote><p><b>Rod Serling</b> (1924-1975) American screenwriter, playwright, television producer, narrator<br><i>Seven Days in May</i>, film (1964)</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/serling-rod/74965/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/serling-rod/74965/</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=champion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>champion</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=control" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>control</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=desperation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>desperation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=fate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fate</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=helplessness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>helplessness</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=hero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hero</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=lunaticfringe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lunaticfringe</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=nuclearwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclearwar</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=savior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>savior</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfconfidence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfconfidence</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=times" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>times</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=coldwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldwar</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=whitehorse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>whitehorse</span></a></p>
