Gustave Flaubert
How could anybody think of Bach as 'cold' when these [cello] suites seem to shine with the most glittering kind of poetry," Casals said.

My teacher, my great cello teacher Leonard Rose, was such a great cellist, and nurturing man, very patient. But I grew up not only admiring him, but obviously Casals, Rostrotovich, Jacqueline du Pre, and many others, including many of my peers and contemporaries. Yo-Yo Ma
The Third Quartet I made the instruments in pairs - Two different pairs - Violin and viola, and violin and cello. They played very different things from each other all through the whole piece. Elliott Carter
My mother adores singing and plays piano. My uncle was a phenomenal pianist. My brother John is a double bassist. I used to play the piano, badly, and cello. My brother Peter played violin. Fiona Shaw

Ritchie Blackmore quote: "The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated,..."
The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument. Ritchie Blackmore
But you have to give your whole life to a cello. When I realized that, I went back to the guitar and just turned the volume up a bit louder. Ritchie Blackmore
Roger Bannister quote: "I enjoy singing, and the instruments which truly move me are..."
