More quotes by Frank Zappa
Without deviance from normality, there can be no progress.
Frank Zappa
Everything on this planet has something to do with music. Music functions in the realm of sculptured air.
Frank Zappa
I believe that people have a right to decide their own destinies people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only so long as) individual citizens give it a temporary license to exist, in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy, you own the government. It doesn't own you.
Frank Zappa
When God created Republicans, he gave up on everything else.
Frank Zappa
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
Frank Zappa
A true Zen saying: Nothing is what I want.
Frank Zappa
Scientists believe that the universe is made of hydrogen because they claim it's the most plentiful ingredient. I claim that the most plentiful ingredient is stupidity.
Frank Zappa
You're baloney without the mayo.
Frank Zappa
Mama stroked his dinger, Daddy got stinky finger.
Frank Zappa
You is what you am, a cow don't make ham.
Frank Zappa
It's a despicable thing to share your personal inner torment for money.
Frank Zappa
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.
Frank Zappa
As far as rearing children goes, the basic idea I try to keep in mind is that a child is a person. Just because they happen to be a little shorter than you doesn't mean they are dumber than you.
Frank Zappa
The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.
Frank Zappa
Mr. Gorbachev has apparently stumbled onto one of the best-kept secrets in recent Soviet history: Communism doesn't work.
Frank Zappa
He wants to do you in cause the color of your skin.
Frank Zappa
If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine - but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good - and CARES about any of it - to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working.
Frank Zappa
The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally for other arts: figuratively - because without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins.
Frank Zappa
I think the anti-smoking business is a yuppie invention-an extension of the concept that we'll always be young, rich, and healthy.
Frank Zappa
So much gets lost in the translation. Even if you sat there listening to it with a microscope, there's no way you're gonna find out what it means.
Frank Zappa
