    top: calc(100% + 0.4em);
    left: calc((100% - 10em) / 2);
}

    width: 1.5em;
    height: 0;
    top: 11.6em;
    border: solid transparent;

    border-radius: 50%;
    left: calc(5.6em - 0.8em);
    top: -0.4em;

An increase in the dom .quoteelement, and the word is divided into 3 sections:

<figure class="chaplin">
    <span class="hat"></span>
    <span class="beard"></span>
    <span class="stick"></span>
    <p class="quote">
        <span>a day without</span>
        <span>laughter</span>
        <span>is a day wasted</span>
    </p>
</figure>

Anchor text, and vertical 3 paragraphs:

.quote {
    position: absolute;
    left: 50%;
    bottom: 2.5em;
    font-family: sans-serif;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    font-weight: bold;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
}

Adjust the font size and character spacing, text alignment section 3 so that:

.quote span:nth-child(1) {
    letter-spacing: 0.05em;
}

.quote span:nth-child(2) {
    font-size: 1.6em;
