"I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance." — Pablo Casals

To retire is to begin to die.

I am perhaps the oldest musician in the world. 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, and to say things to the world that are true.
