Days of Dutch courage, just three French letters, and a German sense of humour.
Elvis Costello
Image
It's what's on the record not what labels on it. You know, that's like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard.
Elvis Costello

Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.
