Peter Ustinov
I'm convinced there's a small room in the attic of the Foreign Office where future diplomats are taught to stammer.
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
I have three daughters and I find as a result I played King Lear almost without rehearsal.
Peter Ustinov
I can never forgive God for having invented the French

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
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
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
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
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
Courage is often lack of insight, whereas cowardice in many cases is based on good information.
Peter Ustinov
This is a free country, madam. We have a right to share your privacy in a public place.
Peter Ustinov

Peter Ustinov
