More quotes by 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
Let us not forget that the greatest composers were also the greatest thieves. They stole from everyone and everywhere.
Pablo Casals
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it life.
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 art of interpretation is not to play what is written.
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
To the whole world you might be just one person, but to one person you might just be the whole world.
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
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
Pablo Casals
Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it.
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
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
The earth becomes heaven when you release your fear. The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human.
Pablo Casals
Say things to the world that are true.
Pablo Casals
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.
Pablo Casals
I don't have hobbies. I have passions.
Pablo Casals
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.
Pablo Casals
The situation is hopeless, we must take the next step.
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
The truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
Pablo Casals
