More quotes by 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
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
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
Pavarotti is not vain, but conscious of being unique.
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
A diplomat these days is nothing but a head waiter who's allowed to sit down occasionally.
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 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
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
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
Sometimes I wish I could just fall in love. Then, at least you know who your opponent is.
Peter Ustinov
I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter.
Peter Ustinov
The point of living, and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come.
Peter Ustinov
I am an international citizen conceived in Russia, born in England, working in Hollywood, living in Switzerland, and touring the World.
Peter Ustinov
That weakness in human nature which goes by the name of strength.
Peter Ustinov
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
I am just a man, not fit to do the work of God... or the Devil.
Peter Ustinov
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
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
