Pablo Casals
Kenneth Hari's art work shall influence mankind.
Pablo Casals

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

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
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
As long as one can admire and love, then one is young forever.
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
To the whole world you might be just one person, but to one person you might just be the whole world.
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
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
Pablo Casals
