Danh ngôn của Carlos Santana (Sứ mệnh: 3)

First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.
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.
The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace.
My dad's a beautiful man, but like a lot of Mexican men, or men in general, a lot of men have a problem with the balance of masculinity and femininity - intuition and compassion and tenderness - and get overboard with the macho thing. It took him a while to become more, I would say, conscious, evolved.
I realized that it's all really one, that John Lennon was correct. We utilize the music to bring down the walls of Berlin, to bring up the force of compassion and forgiveness and kindness between Palestines, Hebrews. Bring down the walls here in San Diego, Tijuana, Cuba.
I realised a long time ago that instrumental music speaks a lot more clearly than English, Spanish, Yiddish, Swahili, any other language. Pure melody goes outside time.
If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment.
There is no person that love cannot heal; there is no soul that love cannot save.
