I think musicians are on a superior level, but unlike scientists, they haven't been accepted for their abilities. (Sun Ra)

My music is the music of precision. I know exactly the rhythm that must animate my music, and only this rhythm is valid. I have in my mind a complete image of my work, on all the different levels: melody, harmony and rhythm. (Sun Ra)

I am a force of nature. I am in the role of Ra because the creator has left it up to me to give some order and harmony to this planet. (Sun Ra)

I have a gift to offer this planet and music is one of the bridges to the treasure house of it. I am doing what i am supposed to do, i am being what i came here to be. (Sun Ra)

I don't remember being born or nothing like that. I probably was here all along somewhere, passing through sometimes, among the earthlings to see what they were doing, to learn more about them, and you know, you have to learn how to handle the situation. (Sun Ra)

This is the music of greater transition To the invisible irresistible space age. The music of the future is already developed But the minds of the people of earth must be prepared to accept it. (Sun Ra)

Sunrise Love in its splendour Reaches out to a lover like me again Sunrise in love love love ever lasting Sunrise Love ever lasting Speaks to me in metaphysical harmonies We move to celestial rhythms rare Up word and out word to delight in the mysteries (Sun Ra)
