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

Don’t be vain because you happen to have talent. You are not responsible for that it was not of your doing. What you do with your talent is what matters.
Pablo Casals
Image
The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.
Pablo Casals
