Live up to your convictions. You walk in grace or you walk in fear. You can't have it both ways.
Carlos Santana

Carlos Santana
Image
I can show you that I have played with just about every jazz musician, every African musician, every blues musician. It's not like I'm cashing in on a false concept. This is what I do.
Carlos Santana
Image
If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment.
Carlos Santana
Image
No one's better than me. I'm not better than anyone. Whether it's Eric Clapton or BB King we look straight at each other. And that keeps it real.
Carlos Santana
Image
When you are in your heart of hearts, you can see beyond appearances.
Carlos Santana
Image
...you meditate and you got the candles, you got the incense and you've been chanting, and all of a sudden you hear this voice: 'Write this down'
Carlos Santana
Image
Everybody sooner or later has to drop the luggage and the baggage of illusions.
Carlos Santana
Image
There is more value in placing a flower in a rifle barrel than making war. As Jimi Hendrix used to say, musical notes have more importance than bullets.

Some songs are just like tattoos for your brain... you hear them and they're affixed to you.
