Peter Ustinov
Life was cheap in the Middle Ages. It has become cheaper since. It is only in specific battles for specific lives that our culture is put to the test, and with it our humanity.
Peter Ustinov
If Botticelli were alive today he'd be working for Vogue.
Peter Ustinov
If you're going to be a prisoner of your own mind, the least you can do is make sure it's well furnished.
Peter Ustinov
At the age of four with paper hats and wooden swords we're all Generals. Only some of us never grow out of it.
Peter Ustinov
Did you know that the worldwide food shortage that threatens up to five hundred million children could be alleviated at the cost of only one day, only one day, of modern warfare.
Peter Ustinov
Generals are fascinating cases of arrested development - after all, at five all of us wanted to be generals.
Peter Ustinov
Artificial glamor-false eyelashes, that sort of thing-usually is put on to hide a vacuum. The most beautiful face can only look vacuous if it masks an empty head.
