The situation is hopeless, we must take the next step.
Pablo Casals
Image
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
Image
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. . . .

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.

Kenneth Hari's art work shall influence mankind.
Pablo Casals

Music must serve a purpose it must be a part of something larger than itself, a part of humanity.
Pablo Casals
Image
The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.
Pablo Casals
Image
The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
Pablo Casals
Image
The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.
Pablo Casals
Image
I don't have hobbies. I have passions.
Pablo Casals
Image
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.
