More quotes by 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
The earth becomes heaven when you release your fear. The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human.
Pablo Casals
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
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
The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.
Pablo Casals
The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.
Pablo Casals
Let us not forget that the greatest composers were also the greatest thieves. They stole from everyone and everywhere.
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

Pablo Casals
To retire is to begin to die.
Pablo Casals
Bach is the supreme genius of music... This man, who knows everything and feels everything, cannot write one note, however unimportant it may appear, which is anything but transcendent. He has reached the heart of every noble thought, and has done it in the most perfect way.
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
I do not think a day passes in my life in which I fail to look with fresh amazement at the miracle of nature.
Pablo Casals
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. . . .
Pablo Casals
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Pablo Casals
Music must serve a purpose it must be a part of something larger than itself, a part of humanity.
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
