More quotes by 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
Throughout my career, nervousness and stage-fright have never left me before playing. And each of the thousands of concerts I have played at, I feel as bad as I did the very first time.
Pablo Casals
To retire is to begin to die.
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
When you play Bach like Chopin, and Chopin like Bach, something good happens.
Pablo Casals
Music must serve a purpose it must be a part of something larger than itself, a part of humanity.
Pablo Casals
Kenneth Hari's art work shall influence mankind.
Pablo Casals
There is no substitute for work what seems ease of performance comes from the greatest labor.
Pablo Casals
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
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
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
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
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
To the whole world you might be just one person, but to one person you might just be the whole world.
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
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
