More quotes by Charlie Chaplin
I believe in the power of laughter and tears as an antidote to hatred and terror
Charlie Chaplin
You'll never find rainbows, If you're looking down...
Charlie Chaplin
Nothing in life is permanent, not even one's troubles.
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
A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
Charlie Chaplin
In this book I do not intend to give a blow-by-blow description of a sex bout: I find them inartistic, clinical and unpoetic. The circumstances that lead up to sex I find more interesting.
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
In this desperate way, I started many a comedy.
Charlie Chaplin
I will not join any club who will take me as a member.
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
This is a story of a period between two World Wars - an interim in which Insanity cut loose. Liberty took a nose dive, and Humanity was kicked around somewhat.
Charlie Chaplin
That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.
Charlie Chaplin
We might as well die as to go on living like this.
Charlie Chaplin
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury. [and therefore not appreciate it fully or be grateful for it every moment.]
Charlie Chaplin
I like friends as I like music - when I am in the mood.
Charlie Chaplin
I am not religious in the dogmatic sense... I neither believe nor disbelieve in anything.
Charlie Chaplin
Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
Charlie Chaplin
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
Charlie Chaplin
I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.
Charlie Chaplin
The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.
Charlie Chaplin
