“Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day

“No one could know Serling, or view or read his work, without recognizing his deep affection for humanity, his sympathetically enthusiastic curiosity about us, and his determination to enlarge our horizons by giving us a better understanding of ourselves. He dreamed of much for us, and demanded much of himself, perhaps more than was possible for either in this time and place. But it is that quality of dreams and demands that makes the ones like Rod Serling rare …and always irreplaceable.”

“There is the liability of accepting prematurely an artificial horizon for our own character and personality, of losing the horizon of the possible person we might be.”

Halford E. Luccock (1885–1960) American Methodist minister

Marching Off the Map : And Other Sermons (1952), p. 83
Context: There is the liability of accepting prematurely an artificial horizon for our own character and personality, of losing the horizon of the possible person we might be. It is the danger of considering our character as something static, rather than as something emerging. <!-- Some of us remember the old singsong of the geography class, "bounded on the north, south, east, and west." Not very exciting.
