"Sangat menarik, ketika [John Coltrane] menciptakan A Love Supreme. Dia bermeditasi minggu itu. Aku hampir tidak melihatnya di lantai bawah. Dan itu sangat sunyi! Tidak ada suara, tidak ada latihan! Dia di sana bermeditasi, dan ketika dia turun dia berkata, "Saya punya musik yang sama sekali baru!" Dia berkata, "Ada rekaman baru yang akan saya lakukan, saya memiliki semuanya, semuanya." Dan itu sangat indah! Dia seperti Musa yang turun dari gunung. Dan ketika dia merekamnya, dia tahu segalanya, segalanya. Dia mengatakan ini adalah pertama kalinya dia merekam semua musik di kepalanya sekaligus."

--- Alice Coltrane

Versi Bahasa Inggris

It was so interesting, when [John Coltrane] created A Love Supreme. He had meditated that week. I almost didn't see him downstairs. And it was so quiet! There was no sound, no practice! He was up there meditating, and when he came down he said, "I have a whole new music!" He said, "There is a new recording that I will do, I have it all, everything." And it was so beautiful! He was like Moses coming down from the mountain. And when he recorded it, he knew everything, everything. He said this was the first time that he had all the music in his head at once to record.
