Famous quotes containing the words chords and/or played:
“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)
“When I played drunks I had to remain sober because I didn’t know how to play them when I was drunk.”
—Richard Burton (1925–1984)
