Peter Ustinov

"Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious."

"Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit."

"If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done."

"I imagine hell like this: Italian punctuality, German humour and English wine."

"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."
