Peter Ustinov
People are annoyed with the Chinese for not respecting more human rights. But with a population that size it's very difficult to have the same attitude to human rights.
Peter Ustinov
If Botticelli were alive today he'd be working for Vogue.
Peter Ustinov
When I was small, I would refuse to drink when I ate fish because I thought the fish would reconstitute itself in my stomach

British education is probably the best in the world, if you can survive it. If you can't there is nothing left for you but the diplomatic corps.
Peter Ustinov
That weakness in human nature which goes by the name of strength.
Peter Ustinov
