More from Charlie Chaplin
"Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles."
"The most beautiful things in the world are felt, not seen."
"Celebrity gives you the impression that everyone knows you, but in reality, you don't know anyone."
"The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress."
"The human race is a wonderful thing, but it's also a very foolish thing."
About Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977)
English comic actor and silent-film auteur whose Tramp character defined early Hollywood and whose The Great Dictator (1940) satirized Hitler. Closely associated with Buster Keaton (silent-comedy peer of equal stature) and Harold Lloyd (third silent-comedy giant). For an intellectual contrast, see J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director (1924-1972) — Hoover pursued Chaplin for years on suspected communist sympathies, leading to the 1952 revocation of Chaplin's US re-entry permit and his Swiss exile — Hoover represented the McCarthy-era national-security state that was the institutional opposite of Chaplin's pro-immigrant Tramp humanism.
