Peter Ustinov
Intelligent or not, we all make mistakes and perhaps the intelligent mistakes are the worst, because so much careful thought has gone into them.
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

I believe that the Jews have made a contribution to the human condition out of all proportion to their numbers: I believe them to be an immense people. Not only have they supplied the world with two leaders of the stature of Jesus Christ and Karl Marx, but they have even indulged in the luxury of following neither one nor the other.
Peter Ustinov
I have four children which is not bad considering I'm not a Catholic.
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

Books, I don't know what you see in them. I can understand a person reading them, but I can't for the life of me see why people have to write them.
Peter Ustinov

Peter Ustinov
Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich.
Peter Ustinov
Her virtue was that she said what she thought, her vice that what she thought didn't amount to much.
Peter Ustinov
There is no question but that if Jesus Christ, or a great prophet from another religion, were to come back today, he would find it virtually impossible to convince anyone of his credentials despite the fact that the vast evangelical machine on American television is predicated on His imminent return among us sinners.
Peter Ustinov
I have Russian, German, Spanish, Italian, French and Ethiopian blood in my veins.
Peter Ustinov
Robert Vavra is one of these artists, part magician, part alchemist, who is able to create a series of photographs in unforgettable compositions. Only visible are the dunes, the blinding fields of flowers and the vast sky, the epic intimacy of Robert Vavra's vision.
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
Two members of my profession who are not urgently needed by my profession, Mr. Ronald Reagan and Mr. George Murphy, entered politics, and they've done extremely well. Since there has been no reciprocal tendency in the other direction, it suggests to me that our job is still more difficult than their new one.
Peter Ustinov
I can never forgive God for having invented the French
