Image
When you play Bach like Chopin, and Chopin like Bach, something good happens.
Pablo Casals
Image
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
Image
To the whole world you might be just one person, but to one person you might just be the whole world.
Pablo Casals
Image
Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe a moment that never was before and never will be again.
Pablo Casals
Image
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border? There is a brotherhood among all men. This must be recognized if life is to remain. We must learn the love of man.
Pablo Casals
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it.
Pablo Casals
Image
The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.
Pablo Casals
Image
The greatest respect an artist can pay to music is to give it life.
Pablo Casals
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Let us not forget that the greatest composers were also the greatest thieves. They stole from everyone and everywhere.
Pablo Casals
Image
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
Image
There is no substitute for work what seems ease of performance comes from the greatest labor.
Pablo Casals
Image
I do not think a day passes in my life in which I fail to look with fresh amazement at the miracle of nature.

Kenneth Hari's art work shall influence mankind.

As long as one can admire and love, then one is young forever.
