What amazing and wonderful pictures!

Imagine just being a fly on the wall and listening to what those people might have spoken about.

And yes, SC, I would absolutely have liked to have been at the dinner table with Chaplin and Einstein. grin

I read recently that Chaplin was an admirer of the British comedian Benny Hill, and the two of them met before Chaplin's death. Glad to hear it; when Benny Hill did his "silent" bits, the Chaplinesque influence was very obvious. I wish I could have overheard what they discussed!

Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
