More from Charlie Chaplin
"I don't believe in anything, but I believe in everything. I believe in the human spirit, in kindness, in beauty, in joy. I believe in the power of laughter, and I believe in the power of tears."
"I'm a clown, and I'm proud of it."
"We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness—not by each other's misery."
"That's what all we are. Amateurs. We don't live long enough to be anything else."
"I am not a politician, I am an entertainer. My job is to make people laugh, to make them forget their troubles, to make them happy."
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.
