More quotes by Sun Ra
Music is a language, a universal language.
Sun Ra
It takes a motion to notion and it takes a notion to motion.
Sun Ra
Art does not begin with imitation, but with discipline.
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
Music can be the bridge to understanding, but people have to get some knowledge.
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
Heaven is where you'll be when you are okay right where you are.
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
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
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
Freedom of Speech is Freedom of Music.
Sun Ra
I'm not a minister, I'm not a philosopher, I'm not a politician, I'm in another category.
Sun Ra
Behold the pre-prophetic symbols of the planes of Never. Behold, behold this thisness! This isness.
Sun Ra
If you’re not mad at the world, you don’t have what it takes
Sun Ra
I have many names some call me Mr. Ra, others call me Mr. Re, you can call me Mr. Mystery.
Sun Ra
Space is not only high, it's low. It's a bottomless pit.
Sun Ra
A world is in danger, this planet is in great danger!
Sun Ra
I'm not into division. I'm into coordination, discipline and tradition.
Sun Ra
The real aim of music is to co-ordinate the minds of the people into an intelligent reach for a better world and an intelligent approach to the living future.
Sun Ra
Today's symphonic music is sponsored by the upper structures of society.
