Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Elvis Costello

- Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking, when I hear the silly things that you say.
- You think you’re alone until you realize you’re in it. Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit.
- Sometimes I wonder if we’re livin’ in the same land. Why do you wanna be my friend when I feel like a juggler running out of hands?
- I was watching while you’re dancing away, our love got fractured in the echo and sway. How come everybody wants to be your friend? You know that it still hurts me just to say it.
- It’s a dangerous game that comedy plays. Sometimes it tells you the truth; sometimes it delays it.
