More from Charlie Chaplin
"I am like a man who is ever haunted by a spirit, the spirit of poverty, the spirit of privation."
"Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles."
"These days if you step off the curb with your left foot, they accuse you being a communist."
"I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it."
"I am for the people. I am for the common man. I am for the working class. I am for everyone who is struggling."
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.
