More quotes by Pablo Casals
The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
Pablo Casals
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
The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.
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
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Pablo Casals
To retire is to begin to die.
Pablo Casals
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
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
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
To retire is the beginning of death.
Pablo Casals
Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it.
Pablo Casals
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.
Pablo Casals
Throughout my career, nervousness and stage-fright have never left me before playing. And each of the thousands of concerts I have played at, I feel as bad as I did the very first time.
Pablo Casals
When you play Bach like Chopin, and Chopin like Bach, something good happens.
Pablo Casals
Music must serve a purpose it must be a part of something larger than itself, a part of humanity.
Pablo Casals
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it life.
Pablo Casals
The art of interpretation is not to play what is written.
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
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
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
