More from Charlie Chaplin
"Once again, the same depressing question arose: should I make another silent film? I knew I would take a big risk by doing it. If I spoke, I would become an actor like the others."
"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
"I don’t believe in the God of the theologians, but that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in God."
"I have no patience with people who are always complaining. Life is too short for that."
"Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass are fools."
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.
