This is a ruthless world and one must be ruthless to cope with it.

Judge a man not by how he treats his equals but by how he treats his inferiors.

You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.

You need Power, only when you want to do something harmful otherwise Love is enough to get everything done.

I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.

Had I known of the actual horrors of the German concentration camps, I could not have made The Great Dictator, I could not have made fun of the homicidal insanity of the Nazis.

I've arrived at the age where a platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane.
