Charlie Chaplin
I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.
Charlie Chaplin
Where words leave off, gesture begins. Don't we speak of a person being speechless with rage, dancing with impatience, setting his teeth? The final motions of the soul are speechless, animal, grotesque, or of an incomparable beauty.
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

Charlie Chaplin
It seems to me that my mother was the most splendid woman I ever knew... I have met a lot of people knocking around the world since, but I have never met a more thoroughly refined woman than my mother. If I have amounted to anything, it will be due to her.
Charlie Chaplin
Greed has poisoned men's souls.
Charlie Chaplin
Have them all shot. I don't want any of my workers dissatisfied.
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
The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.
Charlie Chaplin
My character of the Tramp, the millions of workers symbolized in that one figure.
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
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
