More quotes by Sun Ra
Somewhere in the other side of nowhere is a place in space beyond time where the Gods of mythology dwell. ... These gods dwell in their mythocracies as opposed to your theocracies, democracies, and monocracies. They dwell in a magic world. These Gods can even offer you immortality.
Sun Ra
Behold the pre-prophetic symbols of the planes of Never. Behold, behold this thisness! This isness.
Sun Ra
Music is a plane of wisdom, because music is a universal language, it is a language of honor, it is a noble precept, a gift of the Airy Kingdom, music is air, a universal existence common to all the living.
Sun Ra
I think of myself as a complete mystery. To myself.
Sun Ra
Proper evaluations of words and letters in their phonetic and associated sense can bring the people of earth to the clear light of pure cosmic wisdom.
Sun Ra

Sun Ra
Where human eyes have never seen, where human beings have never been, I build a world of abstract dreams, and I wait for you.
Sun Ra
Freedom of Speech is Freedom of Music.
Sun Ra
Those who will not dance will have to be shot
Sun Ra
Today's symphonic music is sponsored by the upper structures of society.
Sun Ra
A world is in danger, this planet is in great danger!
Sun Ra
Music is a language, a universal language.
Sun Ra
The possible has been tried and failed. Now it's time to try the impossible.
Sun Ra
Space is not only high, it's low. It's a bottomless pit.
Sun Ra
Sometimes in the ignorance I feel the meaning Invincible invisible wisdom, And I commune with intuitive instinct With the force that made life be And since it made life be It is greater than life And since it let extinction be It is greater than extinction. I commune with feelings more than prayer
Sun Ra
Music can be the bridge to understanding, but people have to get some knowledge.
Sun Ra
I'm not into division. I'm into coordination, discipline and tradition.
Sun Ra
I always say it's not my Arkestra, it belongs to some other force which wants certain things, to reach people.
Sun Ra
At first there was nothingthen nothing turned itself inside-out and became something
