“The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.” — Pablo Casals “I am dying: it's a beautiful word. Like the long slow sigh of the cello: dying. But the sound of it is the only beautiful thing about it.” — Sonya Hartnett “Actually, music gave me the support when I needed it. I would never have gone to college unless I'd gotten a piano scholarship. And now I'm so glad I got to learn to play the cello, which is a different experience, you're flexing a different muscle, but it's beautiful because it is music.” — Jamie Foxx
