The kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you!
Charlie Chaplin
Image
In the work of the greatest geniuses, humble beginnings will reveal themselves somewhere, but one cannot trace the slightest sign of them in Shakespeare ... I am not concerned with who wrote the works of Shakespeare ... but I can hardly think it was the Stratford boy. Whoever wrote them had an aristocratic attitude.
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
Image
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury. [and therefore not appreciate it fully or be grateful for it every moment.]
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.

Time is the best author. It always writes the perfect ending.
Charlie Chaplin

I am not religious in the dogmatic sense... I neither believe nor disbelieve in anything.
Charlie Chaplin

One murder makes a villain millions, a hero.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
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
Image
I will not join any club who will take me as a member.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
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
Image
Moving pictures need sound as much as Beethoven symphonies need lyrics.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
We might as well die as to go on living like this.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish.
Charlie Chaplin

I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.

Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul.

Had I known of the actual horrors of the German concentration camps, I could not have made The Great Dictator, I could not have made fun of the homicidal insanity of the Nazis.
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

So when I cease to be I want to go back...to the sea! Oh for the life of a sardine! That is the life for me!
