Science Quotes by Peter Ustinov (2 quotes)
By increasing the size of the keyhole, today's playwrights are in danger of doing away with the door.
— Peter Ustinov
In Christian Science Monitor (14 Nov 62).
The social sciences were for all those who had not yet decided what to do with their lives, and for all those whose premature frustrations led them into the sterile alleys of confrontation.
— Peter Ustinov
Dear Me

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
