More quotes by Frank Zappa
Her head is full of bubbles, her nose is petite, she looks like she never gets nothing to eat.
Frank Zappa
The lifestyle that I have is probably neither desirable nor useful to most people.
Frank Zappa
In order to deviate successfully, one has to have at least a passing acquaintance with whatever norm one expects to deviate from.
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
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
The ONLY thing that seems to band all nations together, is that their governments are universally bad.
Frank Zappa
Whatever you have to do to have a good time, let's get on with it, so long as it doesn't cause a murder.
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 whole foundation of Christianity is based on the idea that intellectualism is the work of the Devil. Remember the apple on the tree? Okay, it was the Tree of Knowledge. You eat this apple, you're going to be as smart as God. We can't have that.
Frank Zappa
If we can't be free at least we can be cheap.
Frank Zappa
Take the Kama Sutra. How many people died from the Kama Sutra as opposed to the Bible? Who wins?
Frank Zappa
Mama stroked his dinger, Daddy got stinky finger.
Frank Zappa
Don't mind your make-up, you'd better make your mind up.
Frank Zappa
While your children are sleeping, your puppy is crappin'.
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
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 crux of the biscuit is: If it entertains you, fine. Enjoy it. If it doesn't, then blow it out your ass. I do it to amuse myself. If I like it, I release it. If somebody else likes it, that's a bonus.
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
I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.
Frank Zappa
