More from Charlie Chaplin
"One doesn't have to be a Jew to be anti-Nazi. All one has to be is a normal decent human being."
"Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot."
"I was determined to go ahead, for Hitler must be laughed at."
"I am at peace with God. My conflict is with man."
"Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles."
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.
