More quotes by 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
My character of the Tramp, the millions of workers symbolized in that one figure.
Charlie Chaplin
Your Pain May Give Laugh To Somebody But Your Laugh Shouldn't Give Pain To Anybody
Charlie Chaplin
In this book I do not intend to give a blow-by-blow description of a sex bout: I find them inartistic, clinical and unpoetic. The circumstances that lead up to sex I find more interesting.
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
Simplicity is not a simple thing.
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
As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection WISDOM OF THE HEART.
Charlie Chaplin
I suppose that's one of the ironies of life doing the wrong thing at the right moment.
Charlie Chaplin
I believe in the power of laughter and tears as an antidote to hatred and terror
Charlie Chaplin
I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth.
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
Moving pictures need sound as much as Beethoven symphonies need lyrics.
Charlie Chaplin
Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
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 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
Simplicity of approach is always best.
Charlie Chaplin
Beauty is an omnipresence of death and loveliness, a smiling sadness that we discern in nature and all things, a mystic communion that the poet feels.
Charlie Chaplin
I hate the sight of blood, but it's in my veins.
Charlie Chaplin
I don't need interesting camera angles, I am interesting.
Charlie Chaplin
