More quotes by Carlos Santana
I think of music as a menu. I can't eat the same thing every day.
Carlos Santana
Ever since I was a child I've always been very attracted to melodies. Whether I hear Jeff Beck, a choir, an ocean or the wind, there's always a melody in there.
Carlos Santana
Everything is a battlefield. If you fight with anger, you are part of the problem. If you fight with joy, you're part of the solution.
Carlos Santana
Bring the brothers home, and sisters home now. Legalize marijuana and take all that money and invest it in teachers and in education. You will see a transformation in America.
Carlos Santana
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
One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags and no countries and the only passport will be the heart
Carlos Santana
First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.
Carlos Santana
You cannot behave appropriately, unless you perceive correctly. Once you perceive you are a beam of Light, that comes from the mind of God, you will carry yourself differently.
Carlos Santana
Most people don't have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.
Carlos Santana
I'm ready to do something with Lady Gaga or Andrea Bocelli. I'm really grateful that nothing is out of the realm of possibility.
Carlos Santana
I knuckle down with my demons, and with my weaknesses.
Carlos Santana
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.
Carlos Santana
Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine manner.
Carlos Santana
I am here to give voice to the invisible.
Carlos Santana
The concept is to weave in some emotion.
Carlos Santana
Blues was my first love. It was the first thing where I said, 'Oh man, this is the stuff.' It just sounded so raw and honest, gut-bucket honest. From then I started rebelling.
Carlos Santana
I have wisdom. I feel love. I live in the present and I try to present a dimension that brings harmony and healing.
Carlos Santana
The more choices we give patients affected by depression, the better we will serve them.
Carlos Santana
I have been accused of being a very simplistic, very lyrical player, and that's okay. That just comes from the blues, which is my background. But every day you wake up and transcend. You can't ever rest on your laurels.
Carlos Santana
You can take things that Jimi Hendrix took, from Curtis Mayfield or from Buddy Guy for example, because we are all children of everything, even Picasso. But if you want to stand out, you have to learn to crystallize your existence and create your own fingerprints.
Carlos Santana
