The Universal Tone: My Life QUOTES

1 " People get stuck in their stories. My advice is to end your story and begin your life. "

― Carlos Santana , The Universal Tone: My Life

2 " when you go through hell—your own darkest night of the soul—don’t take pictures to show to your friends. "

― Carlos Santana , The Universal Tone: My Life

3 " And as for what I’ve learned: be an instrument of peace. Be a gentleman at all costs. Enjoy yourself—have fun with your existence. Learn to listen to your inner voice and don’t overdose on yourself. Keep your darkness in check. Let music be a healing force. Be a real musician: once you start counting money before notes, you’re a full-time wannabe. Put your guitar down and go outside and take a long drink of light with your eyes. Go walk in the park and take off your shoes and socks and feel the grass under your feet and mud between your toes. Go see a baby smiling, go see a wino crawling, go see life. Feel life—all of it, as much as possible. Find a human melody, then write a song about it. Make it all come through your music. "

― Carlos Santana , The Universal Tone: My Life

4 " What is an ego except something that thinks it’s separate from God? "

― Carlos Santana , The Universal Tone: My Life
