The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?

I will keep this one. Very true, and a beautiful sentiment.

Cassals was a great musician. I think great musicians give great political insights. Sometimes by the power of their words, as for Cassals' here, or by the power of their music and their presence, as Horowitz did in Moscow three decades ago. To this day, I believe that Horowitz gave the final blow to the Soviet Union when he performed there. I'm sure political scientists would disagree!
