“Religion. It’s given people hope in a world torn apart by religion.”
-Charlie Chaplin

“By simple common sense I don’t believe in God, in none.”
-Charlie Chaplin

“I inadvertently came upon an edition of Robert Ingersoll’s Essays and Lectures. This was an exciting discovery; his atheism confirmed my own belief that the horrific cruelty of the Old Testament was degrading to the human spirit.”
-Charlie Chaplin

“Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded.”
-Charlie Chaplin

“What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.”
-Charlie Chaplin

“In the end, everything is a gag.”
-Charlie Chaplin

    i love these quotes !
    i just recently wondered if Chaplin was an atheist and i guess if these quotes are true, he absolutely was.

    i adore him.
