When a baby comes you can smell two things: the smell of flesh, which smells like chicken soup, and the smell of lilies, the flower of another garden, the spiritual garden.

More quotes by Carlos Santana
A lot of people said to me, 'Enough with the guest vocalists for a while. We want to hear the Mexican play the guitar!'
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
Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins.
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
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
I invite you, wholeheartedly, to read books that remind you of your highest self and emancipate you from mental slavery or false beliefs and illusions. The more you invest in attracting books that resonate with the frequency of your true self, the more light you will bring to the world.
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
Most people don't have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.
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
Surrender your whole being to a note, and gravity disappears...wi th one chord
Carlos Santana
I am here to give voice to the invisible.
Carlos Santana
Your wrinkles either show that you're nasty, cranky, and senile, or that you're always smiling.
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
There is divinity in your DNA. Live your light.
Carlos Santana
I knuckle down with my demons, and with my weaknesses.
Carlos Santana
There is no greater reward than working from your heart and making a difference in the world.
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
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
Live up to your convictions. You walk in grace or you walk in fear. You can't have it both ways.
Carlos Santana
