"I don’t believe in the God of the theologians, but that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in God."
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
"One doesn't have to be a Jew to be anti-Nazi. All one has to be is a normal decent human being."
"Judge a man not by how he treats his equals but by how he treats his inferiors."
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.
