More quotes by Pablo Casals
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
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
I don't have hobbies. I have passions.
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
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
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
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.
Pablo Casals
To the whole world you might be just one person, but to one person you might just be the whole world.
Pablo Casals
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
Pablo Casals
Resist doing things that have no meaning for life.
Pablo Casals
I am an old man but in many senses a very young man. And this is what I want you to be, young, young all your life.
Pablo Casals
To retire is to begin to die.
Pablo Casals
Let us not forget that the greatest composers were also the greatest thieves. They stole from everyone and everywhere.
Pablo Casals
We ought to think that we are one of the leaves of a tree, and the tree is all humanity. We cannot live without the others, without the tree.
Pablo Casals
Say things to the world that are true.
Pablo Casals
The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
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
In music, in the sea, in a flower, in a leaf, in an act of kindness... I see what people call God in all these things.
Pablo Casals
The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.
Pablo Casals
