More quotes by Charlie Chaplin
Why not? After all, it belongs to him.
Charlie Chaplin
Simplicity of approach is always best.
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
Simplicity is not a simple thing.
Charlie Chaplin
The glamour of it all! New York! America!
Charlie Chaplin
I remain just one thing, and one thing only - and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
Charlie Chaplin
Unless I write every day, I don't feel I deserve my dinner.
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
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Charlie Chaplin
Man is an animal with primary instincts of survival. Consequently his ingenuity has developed first and his soul afterwards. The progress of science is far ahead of man's ethical behavior.
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
As for politics, I’m an anarchist. I hate governments and rules and fetters. Can’t stand caged animals. People must be free.
Charlie Chaplin
A man's true character comes out when he's drunk.
Charlie Chaplin
The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.
Charlie Chaplin
I don't need interesting camera angles, I am interesting.
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
Have them all shot. I don't want any of my workers dissatisfied.
Charlie Chaplin
Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
Charlie Chaplin
I do not need drugs to be a genius, do not take a genius to be human, but I need your smile to be happy.
Charlie Chaplin
Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.
Charlie Chaplin
