[Talkies] are spoiling the oldest art in the world - the art of pantomime. They are ruining the great beauty of silence.

Charlie Chaplin

Sound has spoiled the most ancient of the world's arts, the art of pantomime, and has canceled out the great beauty that is silence.

The object of art like every other product creates a public which is sensitive to art and enjoys beauty.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.

The world is a work of art that gives birth to itself.

There are more valid facts and details in works of art than there are in history books.
