More quotes by Sun Ra
If death is the absence of life, then death's death is life.
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'm not a minister, I'm not a philosopher, I'm not a politician, I'm in another category.
Sun Ra
The possible has been tried and failed. Now it's time to try the impossible.
Sun Ra
It takes a motion to notion and it takes a notion to motion.
Sun Ra
What I'm dealing with is so vast and great that it can't be called the truth. It's above the truth.
Sun Ra
But recently I began to feel that maybe I wouldn't be able to do what I want to do and need to do with American musicians, who are imprisoned behind these bars music's got these bars and measures you know.
Sun Ra
A prophet is not without honor except in his own country among his own people.
Sun Ra
At first there was nothingthen nothing turned itself inside-out and became something
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
I always say it's not my Arkestra, it belongs to some other force which wants certain things, to reach people.
Sun Ra
I'm not into division. I'm into coordination, discipline and tradition.
Sun Ra
I think of myself as a complete mystery. To myself.
Sun Ra
Music can be the bridge to understanding, but people have to get some knowledge.
Sun Ra
Heaven is where you'll be when you are okay right where you are.
Sun Ra
Behold the pre-prophetic symbols of the planes of Never. Behold, behold this thisness! This isness.
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
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
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
I see people as they really are from a pure point of view.
Sun Ra
