chord quotes

Universitas in modo citharae sit disposita, in qua diversa genera in modo chordarum sit consonantia. The universe is arranged like a cithera, in which different kinds of things sound together harmoniously, just as they do in a chord.

-Honorius of Autun
c.1120  Liber Duodecem Questionum, ch.2.

Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, And my fingers wandered idly Over the noisy keys; I know not what I was playing, Or what I was dreaming then, But I struck one chord of music, Like the sound of a great Amen.

- Adelaide Ann pseudonym of  Mary Berwick Proctor

You just pick a chord, go twang, and you've got music.
