Other Charlie Chaplin quotes:
As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it 'maturity'.
Over the years I have discovered that ideas come through an intense desire for them. Continually desiring, the mind becomes a watch-tower on the look-out for incidents that may excite the imagination - music, a sunset, may give image to an idea.
Unless I write every day, I don't feel I deserve my dinner.
Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.
All my pictures are built around the idea of getting in trouble and so giving me the chance to be desperately serious in my attempt to appear as a normal little gentleman.
As for politics, I'm an anarchist. I hate governments and rules and fetters. Can't stand caged animals. People must be free.
That which is apparent ends. That which is subtle is never-ending.
Deep down we all have a sense of our own inadequacy about coping with life. It is something that all of us hide from the world yet it feeds the soul and endows our personality with charm.
Men who think deeply say little in ordinary conversations.
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.
