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

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 have three daughters and I find as a result I played King Lear almost without rehearsal.
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
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.
