Pablo Casals
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
Pablo Casals
There is no substitute for work what seems ease of performance comes from the greatest labor.
Pablo Casals
Music must serve a purpose it must be a part of something larger than itself, a part of humanity.
Pablo Casals
