"Nonsense is nonsense, and snuff is snuff, even in golden boxes. But roses in a broken vase are still always roses."

Swedish poem. Even more sweet in Swedish, coz then it rhymes.

Ps. Perhaps I shouldn't have watched Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me last night?!?

Speaking of evil:

"Mijailovich got the wrong one."
