Charlie Chaplin
I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.
Charlie Chaplin
The building is a special place because of its architecture But it's people who make it special by participating in it.
Charlie Chaplin
My prodigious sin was, and still is, being a non-conformist.
Charlie Chaplin
All my pictures are built around the idea of getting in trouble and so giving me the chance to be desperately serious in my attempt to appear as a normal little gentleman.
Charlie Chaplin
From such trivia, I believe my soul was born.
Charlie Chaplin
