“Man has made many machines, complex and cunning, but which of them indeed rivals…” — Pablo Casals

The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.

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.

To retire is to die.
