Discordant Quotations
Justice is sweet and musical; but injustice is harsh and discordant.
Henry David Thoreau
Couples are wholes and not wholes, what agrees disagrees, the concordant is discordant. From all things one and from one all things.
Heraclitus
There is nothing like a Bach fugue to remove me from a discordant moment... only Bach hold up fresh and strong after repeated playing. I can always return to Bach when the other records weary me.
Edward Weston
Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, and my fingers wandered idly over the noisy keys. It seemed the harmonious echo from our discordant life.
Adelaide Anne Procter
The sterile, arid environment created by truly jarring and discordant signage and gargantuan billboards is a turnoff.
