Notable quotes

“Wars, conflict, it's all business. "One murder makes a villain. Millions a hero". Numbers sanctify.”
— Monsieur Verdoux (1947); Chaplin in this line is quoting an older statement of Bishop Beilby Porteus: "One murder makes a villain. Millions a hero."
“I remain just one thing, and one thing only — and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.”
— As quoted in The Observer (17 June 1960)
“I am not religious in the dogmatic sense … I neither believe nor disbelieve in anything.”
— My Autobiography (1964), p. 287
“Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish. … The trouble is you won't fight. You've given up. But there's something just as inevitable as death. And that's life. Think of the power of the universe — turning the Earth, growing the trees. That's the same power within you — if you'll only have the courage and the will to use it.”
— Calvero's answer to Terry's question: "What is there to fight for?" in Limelight (1952)
“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.”
— As quoted in his obituary in The Guardian (28 December 1977)
“Hannah: Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.”
— To the barber, while being shaved by him.
