"The deeper the truth in a creative work, the longer it will live."
"Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass are fools."
"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
"These days if you step off the curb with your left foot, they accuse you being a communist."
"All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl."
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.
