Pablo Casals
The earth becomes heaven when you release your fear. The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human.
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
The situation is hopeless, we must take the next step.

Pablo Casals
Resist doing things that have no meaning for life.
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
The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
Pablo Casals

Pablo Casals
As long as one can admire and love, then one is young forever.
Pablo Casals
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
The truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
Pablo Casals
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it life.
Pablo Casals
