Charlie Chaplin
Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference.
Charlie Chaplin
Simplicity is not a simple thing.
Charlie Chaplin
Hair is vitally personal to children. They weep vigorously when it is cut for the first time no matter how it grows, bushy, straight or curly, they feel they are being shorn of a part of their personality.
Charlie Chaplin
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all.
Charlie Chaplin
In this desperate way, I started many a comedy.
Charlie Chaplin
