Resist doing things that have no meaning for life.
Pablo Casals
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
Pablo Casals
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 cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.
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
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

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
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 only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
Pablo Casals

There is no substitute for work what seems ease of performance comes from the greatest labor.
Pablo Casals
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Pablo Casals
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
Pablo Casals
Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it.
Pablo Casals
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.
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
To retire is to begin to die.
Pablo Casals
When you play Bach like Chopin, and Chopin like Bach, something good happens.
Pablo Casals
