Charlie Chaplin
Image
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
Image
The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.
Charlie Chaplin
