“I'm not into division. I'm into coordination, discipline and tradition.”

Sun Ra (1914–1993) American jazz composer and bandleader

As quoted in "Space is still the place" by W. Kim Heron in Metro Times (6 June 2007) http://www.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=10582

There's a lot of division in what they call black. I'm not into division. I'm into coordination, discipline and tradition.
