Famous quotes containing the words major, match and/or results:

    “Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
    Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,
    And I blunt it into a ninth, and I stand on alien ground,
    Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;
    Which, hark, I have dared and done, for my resting-place is found,
    The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “Seducing one’s neighbor to a good opinion and then afterwards believing devoutly in this neighbor’s opinion—who can match women in this clever ploy?”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
