More quotes by Pablo Casals
Music must serve a purpose it must be a part of something larger than itself, a part of humanity.
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
The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
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
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 the beginning of death.
Pablo Casals
Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it.
Pablo Casals
The truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
Pablo Casals
I am a very simple man. I am a man first, an artist second. My first obligation is to the welfare of my fellow man. I will endeavour to meet this obligation through music, since it transcends language, politics and national boundaries.
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 don't have hobbies. I have passions.
Pablo Casals
The situation is hopeless, we must take the next step.
Pablo Casals
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it life.
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
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
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
Say things to the world that are true.
Pablo Casals
The art of interpretation is not to play what is written.
Pablo Casals
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
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.
