Charlie Chaplin (Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin)Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone. Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish. Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot. Look up to the sky you'll never find rainbows if you’re looking down. Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded. Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage. Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles. Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing. That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head. The glamour of it all! New York! America! |
