More quotes by 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
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
Basically I'm a very serious person, but I think the form it takes with me is comedy. I see the amusing side of all potentially pompous situations.
Peter Ustinov
What is education but a process by which a person begins to learn how to learn?
Peter Ustinov
If Botticelli were alive today he'd be working for Vogue.
Peter Ustinov
Pavarotti is not vain, but conscious of being unique.

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
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
Irrespective of nationality, soldiers are always open to the same discomfort and to the same comradeship the world over. I'll make things easy for you if you make things easy for me. That is, after all the unwritten law of the barracks.
Peter Ustinov
If history teaches us one thing, than that history teaches us nothing.
Peter Ustinov
Courage is often lack of insight, whereas cowardice in many cases is based on good information.
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
As I grow older I find that though I think I'm saying the same things as I always did, people listen to me more.
Peter Ustinov
I have four children which is not bad considering I'm not a Catholic.
Peter Ustinov
A diplomat these days is nothing but a head waiter who's allowed to sit down occasionally.
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
To live like a poor man is only fun when you are rich.
Peter Ustinov
Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich.
Peter Ustinov
I am convinced that it is of primordial importance to learn more every year than the year before. After all, what is education but a process by which a person begins to learn how to learn.
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
