More quotes by Peter Ustinov
Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus.
Peter Ustinov
World Government is not only possible, it is inevitable and when it comes, it will appeal to patriotism in its truest sense,in its only sense, the patriotism of humans who love their national heritages so deeply that they wish to preserve them in safety for the common good.
Peter Ustinov
Her virtue was that she said what she thought, her vice that what she thought didn't amount to much.
Peter Ustinov
Generals are fascinating cases of arrested development - after all, at five all of us wanted to be generals.
Peter Ustinov
I hate being moved. I hate that man who came in. So self-righteous, so cruel. He made fun of me, that's why I cried. You never did that. You led me into temptation by your - politeness.
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
If you're going to be a prisoner of your own mind, the least you can do is make sure it's well furnished.

What is education but a process by which a person begins to learn how to learn?
Peter Ustinov
I had started by imitating a parrot, which is unusual, in that a parrot is supposed to imitate you. By taking the initiative you allow the parrot no alternative but to be itself, which proves again that attack is often the best defence.
Peter Ustinov
Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich.
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
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.
Peter Ustinov
Love is an act of endless forgiveness. It means forget inconvenient duties, then forgive yourself for forgetting. By rigid practice and stern determination, it comes easy.
Peter Ustinov
It is youth that has discovered love as a weapon.
Peter Ustinov
Pavarotti is not vain, but conscious of being unique.
Peter Ustinov
The only reason I made a commercial for American Express was to pay for my American Express bill.
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
A diplomat these days is nothing but a head waiter who's allowed to sit down occasionally.
