Famous quotes containing the words major and/or characters:
“Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,

Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;

The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
