Major Chords

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or chords:

    A major power can afford a military debacle only when it looks like a political victory.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern, that no shade of quality escapes it, and so quick to feel, that discernment is but a hand playing with finely-ordered variety on the chords of emotion—a soul in which knowledge passes instantaneously into feeling, and feeling flashes back as a new organ of knowledge. One may have that condition by fits only.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
