More quotes by Pablo Casals
The art of interpretation is not to play what is written.
Pablo Casals
The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.
Pablo Casals
The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.
Pablo Casals
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Pablo Casals
Kenneth Hari's art work shall influence mankind.
Pablo Casals
We ought to think that we are one of the leaves of a tree, and the tree is all humanity. We cannot live without the others, without the tree.
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
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.
Pablo Casals
If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.
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
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it life.
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
To retire is the beginning of death.
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
The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.
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 truly important things in life - love, beauty, and one's own uniqueness - are constantly being overlooked.
Pablo Casals
I see in the melody of Nature, God. It is a wonderful work of art. The spirit of the art is wonderful. And I feel that I am myself because I have never taken music lightly. Music is the manifestation of God, like everything else.
Pablo Casals
Throughout my career, nervousness and stage-fright have never left me before playing. And each of the thousands of concerts I have played at, I feel as bad as I did the very first time.
Pablo Casals
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
Pablo Casals
