Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

More quotes by Frank Zappa
Catholic girls with tiny little mustaches.
Frank Zappa
There is no such thing as a dirty word. Nor is there a word so powerful, that it's going to send the listener to the lake of fire upon hearing it.
Frank Zappa
Information doesn't kill you.
Frank Zappa
Guitar playing, as currently understood, has more to do with sports than it does to do with music. It's an Olympic challenge type of situation. The challenges are in the realm of speed, redundancy, choreography, and grooming... ...clouds of educated gnat-notes.
Frank Zappa
Anything Anytime Anyplace For No Reason At All (or AAAFNRAA)
Frank Zappa
Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them. With reading comprehension being what it is in the U. S., you can safely toss that one out the window. If you want to judge by the listening habits of people who buy records, the first thing they do is put it on and talk over it.
Frank Zappa
Unbind your mind, there is no time.
Frank Zappa
If you are home, and you got no place to go, and you want to, just blow yourself up ... Go ahead ... The drugs themselves ... There's a price for doing stuff to yourself.
Frank Zappa
Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be.
Frank Zappa
A true Zen saying: Nothing is what I want.
Frank Zappa
Is this something new, having people stomp on you? Is it what I need to do for your pleasure?
Frank Zappa
Without deviance from normality, there can be no progress.
Frank Zappa
Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, uses that something to support their own existence.
Frank Zappa
It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out the uglier everything seems.
Frank Zappa
Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.
Frank Zappa
I enjoy irritating the people who enjoy being irritated.
Frank Zappa
Maybe you should stay with your mama, you're kind of stupid and ugly, too.
Frank Zappa
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
Frank Zappa
A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.
Frank Zappa
Since I didn't have any kind of formal training, it didn't make any difference to me if I was listening to Lightnin' Slim, or a vocal group called the Jewels ... , or Webern, or Varèse, or Stravinsky. To me it was all good music.
Frank Zappa
