Quote

The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border? There is a brotherhood among all men. This must be recognized if life is to remain. We must learn the love of man.

Image
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it life.
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 a very simple man. I am a man first, an artist second. My first obligation is to the welfare of my fellow man. I will endeavour to meet this obligation through music, since it transcends language, politics and national boundaries.
Pablo Casals
Image
Let us not forget that the greatest composers were also the greatest thieves. They stole from everyone and everywhere.
Pablo Casals
Image
As long as one can admire and love, then one is young forever.

The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
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 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
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.
Pablo Casals
Image
The truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
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
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
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
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.
Pablo Casals
Image
I don't have hobbies. I have passions.
