Pablo Casals
Resist doing things that have no meaning for life.
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

Pablo Casals
To retire is to begin to die.
Pablo Casals
