More quotes by Charlie Chaplin
In the light of our egos, we are all dethroned monarchs
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
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
I've arrived at the age where a platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane.
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
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
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
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
My prodigious sin was, and still is, being a non-conformist.
Charlie Chaplin
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people!
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
Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul.
Charlie Chaplin
Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing.
Charlie Chaplin
I don't need interesting camera angles, I am interesting.
Charlie Chaplin
Let us fight to free the world!
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
In this desperate way, I started many a comedy.
Charlie Chaplin
In the end, everything is a gag.
Charlie Chaplin
Imagination means nothing without doing.
Charlie Chaplin
The glamour of it all! New York! America!
Charlie Chaplin
