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
Bach and Beethoven, all of them, they had to write something to please the upper structure, those with money and power.
Sun Ra
At first there was nothingthen nothing turned itself inside-out and became something
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 see people as they really are from a pure point of view.
Sun Ra
