“Machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don’t hate: only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers, don’t fight for slavery, fight for liberty! You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure! Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power. Let us all unite! Let us fight for a new world, a decent world . . .”
Charlie Chaplin“I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying.”
Charlie Chaplin“You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.”
Charlie Chaplin“All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman, and a pretty girl.”
Charlie Chaplin, My Autobiography“I'm in the back of a limousine with Charlie Chaplin and it’s 1928. Charlie is beautiful; his body language seems to skip, and reel and rhyme, heartbreaking and witty at the same time. It seems to promise a better world.”
Geoff Ryman, Paradise Tales: and Other Stories“Happiness does not create humor. There's nothing funny about being happy. Sadness creates humor. Krazy Kat getting hit on the head by a brick from Ignatz Mouse is funny. All the sad things happening to Charlie Chaplin are funny. It's funny because it's not happening to us.”
Charles M. Schulz, You Don't Look 35, Charlie Brown!“Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.”
Charlie Chaplin“Why should poetry have to make sense?”
Charlie Chaplin“A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.”
Charlie Chaplin“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.”
Charlie Chaplin“The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.”
