To retire is to begin to die.
Pablo Casals
Image
Music must serve a purpose it must be a part of something larger than itself, a part of humanity.
Pablo Casals
Image
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
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. . . .
Pablo Casals
Image
The situation is hopeless, we must take the next step.
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
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
To the whole world you might be just one person, but to one person you might just be the whole world.
Pablo Casals
Image
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
Pablo Casals
Image
The art of interpretation is not to play what is written.
Pablo Casals
Image
The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.
Pablo Casals
Image
Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it.
Pablo Casals
Image
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.
Pablo Casals
Image
The truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
Pablo Casals
Image
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
Image
The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
Pablo Casals
Image
As long as one can admire and love, then one is young forever.
Pablo Casals
Image
Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe a moment that never was before and never will be again.
