More quotes by Charlie Chaplin
I am what I am: an individual, unique and different, with a lineal history of ancestral promptings and urgings, a history of dreams, desires, and of special experiences, all of which I am the sum total.
Charlie Chaplin
Beauty is an omnipresence of death and loveliness, a smiling sadness that we discern in nature and all things, a mystic communion that the poet feels.
Charlie Chaplin
The glamour of it all! New York! America!
Charlie Chaplin
If anybody else says it's like old times, I'll jump out the window.
Charlie Chaplin
I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth.
Charlie Chaplin
I don't need interesting camera angles, I am interesting.
Charlie Chaplin
I am not a political man and I have no political convictions. I am an individual and a believer in liberty. That is all the politics I have. On the other hand I am not a super-patriot. Super-patriotism leads to Hitlerism - and we've had our lesson there. I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.
Charlie Chaplin
Had I known of the actual horrors of the German concentration camps, I could not have made The Great Dictator, I could not have made fun of the homicidal insanity of the Nazis.
Charlie Chaplin
Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! [...] You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Charlie Chaplin
I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.
Charlie Chaplin
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people and so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Charlie Chaplin
Sound has spoiled the most ancient of the world's arts, the art of pantomime, and has canceled out the great beauty that is silence.
Charlie Chaplin
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Charlie Chaplin
My technique is the outcome of thinking for myself, of my own logic and approach it is not borrowed from what others are doing.
Charlie Chaplin
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all.
Charlie Chaplin
I will not join any club who will take me as a member.
Charlie Chaplin
So when I cease to be I want to go back...to the sea! Oh for the life of a sardine! That is the life for me!
Charlie Chaplin
I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.
Charlie Chaplin
In the work of the greatest geniuses, humble beginnings will reveal themselves somewhere, but one cannot trace the slightest sign of them in Shakespeare ... I am not concerned with who wrote the works of Shakespeare ... but I can hardly think it was the Stratford boy. Whoever wrote them had an aristocratic attitude.
Charlie Chaplin
Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing.
Charlie Chaplin
