More quotes by Pablo Casals
To retire is the beginning of death.
Pablo Casals
The earth becomes heaven when you release your fear. The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human.
Pablo Casals
Don’t be vain because you happen to have talent. You are not responsible for that it was not of your doing. What you do with your talent is what matters.
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
To the whole world you might be just one person, but to one person you might just be the whole world.
Pablo Casals
To retire is to begin to die.
Pablo Casals
The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
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
As long as one can admire and love, then one is young forever.
Pablo Casals
The situation is hopeless, we must take the next step.
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
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
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
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it 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
Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it.
Pablo Casals
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.
Pablo Casals
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Pablo Casals
The truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
Pablo Casals
