"I'm a clown, and I'm proud of it. It's a noble profession."
"The world is a beautiful place, and there is much to be happy about. But there is also much to be sad about, and we must not forget that."
"I am not a Communist, but I am proud to say that I feel pretty pro-Communist."
"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it."
"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."
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.
