More quotes by Peter Ustinov

Peter Ustinov
British education is probably the best in the world, if you can survive it. If you can't there is nothing left for you but the diplomatic corps.
Peter Ustinov

Peter Ustinov
American democracy is the inalienable right to sit on your front porch, in your pyjamas, drinking a can of beer and shouting out 'Where else is this possible?' Which doesn't seem to me to be freedom, really.
Peter Ustinov
Pavarotti is not vain, but conscious of being unique.
Peter Ustinov
I can never forgive God for having invented the French
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
Peter Ustinov
I have four children which is not bad considering I'm not a Catholic.
Peter Ustinov
If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.
Peter Ustinov
