Charlie Chaplin
Image

Charlie Chaplin
Image
Moving pictures need sound as much as Beethoven symphonies need lyrics.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
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
Image
Life is laughter when seen in a long shot, but it is a tragedy when seen in a close-up.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Unless I write every day, I don't feel I deserve my dinner.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Time is the best author. It always writes the perfect ending.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Words seem so futile, so feeble. You are all such lovely, beautiful people ... thank you.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
You have to believe in yourself. That's the secret.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! [...] You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Charlie Chaplin
