Pablo Casals
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
Pablo Casals
Let us not forget that the greatest composers were also the greatest thieves. They stole from everyone and everywhere.
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

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
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
Don’t be vain because you happen to have talent. You are not responsible for that it was not of your doing. What you do with your talent is what matters.
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
The art of interpretation is not to play what is written.
Pablo Casals
When you play Bach like Chopin, and Chopin like Bach, something good happens.
Pablo Casals
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
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
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
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.
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
