I am for people. I can't help it.
Charlie Chaplin -
Wars, conflict, it's all business. 'One murder makes a villain. Millions a hero'. Numbers sanctify.

Hannah: Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.
Charlie Chaplin -
I am at peace with God; my conflict is with man.
Charlie Chaplin -
This is a story of a period between two World Wars - an interim in which insanity cut loose. Liberty took a nose dive, and humanity was kicked around somewhat.
Charlie Chaplin -
I am not religious in the dogmatic sense … I neither believe nor disbelieve in anything.
Charlie Chaplin -
Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish. … The trouble is you won't fight. You've given up. But there's something just as inevitable as death. And that's life. Think of the power of the universe - turning the Earth, growing the trees. That's the same power within you - if you'll only have the courage and the will to use it.
Charlie Chaplin -
Schultz: You must speak. Jewish barber: I can't. Schultz: It's our only hope.

-
I am what I am: an individual, unique and different, with a lineal history of an ancestral promptings and urgings, a history of dreams, desires, and of special experiences, of all of which I am the sum total.
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 -
I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.
Charlie Chaplin -
Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.
Charlie Chaplin -
I feel I am privileged to express a hope. The hope is this: that we shall have peace throughout the world: that we shall abolish wars, and settle all international differences at the conference table: that we shall abolish all atom and hydrogen bombs, before they abolish us first.
Charlie Chaplin -
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
Charlie Chaplin
-
Look up to the sky You'll never find rainbows If you’re looking down.
Charlie Chaplin -
Hynkel, the dictator, ruled the nation with an iron fist. Under the new emblem of the double cross, liberty was banished, free speech was suppressed and only the voice of Hynkel was heard.
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.
