Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.
Pablo Casals
Image
Let us not forget that the greatest composers were also the greatest thieves. They stole from everyone and everywhere.
Pablo Casals

Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it.
Pablo Casals
Image
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
Image
The art of interpretation is not to play what is written.
Pablo Casals

The truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
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. . . .
