More quotes by Pablo Casals
When you play Bach like Chopin, and Chopin like Bach, something good happens.
Pablo Casals
The truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
Pablo Casals
Resist doing things that have no meaning for life.
Pablo Casals
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border? There is a brotherhood among all men. This must be recognized if life is to remain. We must learn the love of man.
Pablo Casals
I used to think that eighty was a very old age. Now I am ninety. I do not think this any more. As long as you are able to admire and to love, you are young.
Pablo Casals
The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
Pablo Casals
Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe a moment that never was before and never will be again.
Pablo Casals
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it life.
Pablo Casals
I see in the melody of Nature, God. It is a wonderful work of art. The spirit of the art is wonderful. And I feel that I am myself because I have never taken music lightly. Music is the manifestation of God, like everything else.
Pablo Casals
To retire is to begin to die.
Pablo Casals
The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.
Pablo Casals
I have always regarded manual labour as creative and looked with respect-and, yes, wonder-at people who work with their hands. It seems to me that their creativity is no less than that of a violinist or painter.
Pablo Casals
Yes, it is true. I am a miracle. I am a miracle like a tree is a miracle, like a flower is a miracle. Now, if I am a miracle, can I do a bad thing? I can't, because I am a miracle, I am a miracle. . . .
Pablo Casals
Let us not forget that the greatest composers were also the greatest thieves. They stole from everyone and everywhere.
Pablo Casals
You do not lose your value or preciousness when you grow to be a adult. You are still that miraculous creation. You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.
Pablo Casals
As long as one can admire and love, then one is young forever.
Pablo Casals
The art of interpretation is not to play what is written.
Pablo Casals
Bach is the supreme genius of music... This man, who knows everything and feels everything, cannot write one note, however unimportant it may appear, which is anything but transcendent. He has reached the heart of every noble thought, and has done it in the most perfect way.
Pablo Casals
There is no substitute for work what seems ease of performance comes from the greatest labor.
Pablo Casals
The situation is hopeless, we must take the next step.
Pablo Casals
