More quotes by 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 first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Pablo Casals
I don't have hobbies. I have passions.
Pablo Casals
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it life.
Pablo Casals
Let us not forget that the greatest composers were also the greatest thieves. They stole from everyone and everywhere.
Pablo Casals
Say things to the world that are true.
Pablo Casals
Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it.
Pablo Casals
I am an old man but in many senses a very young man. And this is what I want you to be, young, young all your life.
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
The situation is hopeless, we must take the next step.
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
As long as one can admire and love, then one is young forever.
Pablo Casals
You do not lose your value or preciousness when you grow to be a adult. You are still that miraculous creation. You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.
Pablo Casals
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
Pablo Casals
I have always regarded manual labour as creative and looked with respect-and, yes, wonder-at people who work with their hands. It seems to me that their creativity is no less than that of a violinist or painter.
Pablo Casals
There is no substitute for work what seems ease of performance comes from the greatest labor.
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
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
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
Resist doing things that have no meaning for life.
Pablo Casals
