Peter Ustinov
Sometimes I wish I could just fall in love. Then, at least you know who your opponent is.
Peter Ustinov
I'm Rally of Unionist Separist Extremes, sometimes known as the R.U.S.E. … It's the party at present in power.
Peter Ustinov
Contrary to general belief, I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first.
