"The question is not whether you're frightened or not, but whether you or the fear is in control. If you say, 'I won't be frightened,' and then you experience fear, most likely you'll succumb to it, because you're paying attention to it. The correct thing to tell yourself is, 'If I do get frightened, I will stay in command.'" »Herbert Fenstermeim

And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone." »Rod Serling
