The heart of a melody can never be put down on paper.

The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.

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.

Joys and Sorrows : Reflections‎ by Pablo Casals as told to Albert E. Kahn (1974)
