Pablo Casals
Image
The earth becomes heaven when you release your fear. The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human.
Pablo Casals
Image
I used to think that eighty was a very old age. Now I am ninety. I do not think this any more. As long as you are able to admire and to love, you are young.
Pablo Casals

The art of interpretation is not to play what is written.
Pablo Casals
Image
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
Image
I am an old man but in many senses a very young man. And this is what I want you to be, young, young all your life.
