Pablo Casals
Image
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
Image
The earth becomes heaven when you release your fear. The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human.
