Pablo Casals
The truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
Pablo Casals
When you play Bach like Chopin, and Chopin like Bach, something good happens.
Pablo Casals

Pablo Casals

Pablo Casals

Pablo Casals
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Pablo Casals
Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it.
Pablo Casals
To retire is to begin to die.
Pablo Casals
As long as one can admire and love, then one is young forever.
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 only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
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
