More quotes by 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
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
The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.
Pablo Casals
There is no substitute for work what seems ease of performance comes from the greatest labor.
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
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.
Pablo Casals
Music must serve a purpose it must be a part of something larger than itself, a part of humanity.
Pablo Casals
I don't have hobbies. I have passions.
Pablo Casals
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.
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
The truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
Pablo Casals
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
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
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it life.
Pablo Casals
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
Pablo Casals
The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
Pablo Casals
The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.
Pablo Casals
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
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
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. . . .
