More quotes by Peter Ustinov

Peter Ustinov

Peter Ustinov
It is youth that has discovered love as a weapon.
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
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
I have Russian, German, Spanish, Italian, French and Ethiopian blood in my veins.
Peter Ustinov
Toronto is a kind of New York operated by the Swiss.
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
