The Twilight Zone: The Changing of the Guard (1962)
Literary Quotes in this Segment
Professor Fowler makes several literary quotes during several sequences. As the main character, he is portrayed as the tough professor with a velvet hand and warm heart, that finds himself forced to retire. There is a theme, several to be exact, that runs through this story. One is that organizations ambivalent to the feelings of there members. The message is that value is somewhat timed and despite contribution there is a "time" when all things must be new again. Another theme is that the human condition many times suffers from under appreciation of its own worth. This is a supported cultural force in society, but sometimes introspection is necessary to see the affect and the value one adds to their environment. The literary quotes were wonderful in this segment. I am looking for an author/Poet by the name of Mann I think.There was a particular quote of personal virtues that Professor Fowler made. I can't find a script for this show to look them up. Does anyone have a better memory or can reference some of those quotes?
