More quotes by Sun Ra
Music can be the bridge to understanding, but people have to get some knowledge.
Sun Ra
Freedom of Speech is Freedom of Music.
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
Space is not only high, it's low. It's a bottomless pit.
Sun Ra
I never wanted to be a part of planet Earth, but I am compelled to be here, so anything I do for this planet is because the Master-Creator of the Universe is making me do it. I am of another dimension. I am on this planet because people need me.
Sun Ra
Today's symphonic music is sponsored by the upper structures of society.
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
I think of myself as a complete mystery. To myself.
Sun Ra
I see people as they really are from a pure point of view.
Sun Ra
It's such a tragedy that man endures in killing his brother and his own kind, putting him in jail and insane asylums, letting him lay out in the street.
Sun Ra
I have many names some call me Mr. Ra, others call me Mr. Re, you can call me Mr. Mystery.
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
It takes a motion to notion and it takes a notion to motion.
Sun Ra
Music is a language, a universal language.
Sun Ra
If you’re not mad at the world, you don’t have what it takes
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
In the world of tomorrow, the new man will 'think' the place he wants to go, then his mind will take him there.
Sun Ra
Those who will not dance will have to be shot
Sun Ra
The music is not part of this planet in a sense that the spirit of it is about happiness. Most musicians play earth things about what they know, but I found out that they are mostly unhappy and frustrated, and that creeps over into their music.
Sun Ra
The possible has been tried and failed. Now it's time to try the impossible.
Sun Ra
