More quotes by 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
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
I think that if you use the so-called strong words you'll get your point across faster and you can save a lot of beating around the bush. Why are people afraid of words? Sometimes the dumbest thing that gets said makes the point for you.
Frank Zappa
The closer you are, the brighter the flames in my heart.
Frank Zappa
They were wearing smelly blankets, they looked like Donovan fans.
Frank Zappa
Your mind is totally controlled, it has been stuffed into my mold. And you will do as you are told, until the rights to you are sold.
Frank Zappa
I would say that today, dishonesty is the rule, and honesty the exception. It could be, statistically, that more people are honest than dishonest, but the few that really control things are not honest, and that tips the balance.
Frank Zappa
While your children are sleeping, your puppy is crappin'.
Frank Zappa
My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.
Frank Zappa
If classical music is the state of the art, then the arts are in a sad state.
Frank Zappa
You are what you is, you is what you am, you ain't what you're not. So see what you got?
Frank Zappa
Studied law, but not qualified to practice it.
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
You is what you am, a cow don't make ham.
Frank Zappa
What something is depends more on when it is than anything else.
Frank Zappa
Find her, blind her, see who designed her. Act like a dummy until you grind her.
Frank Zappa
Nobody looks good bent over. Especially to pick up a check.
Frank Zappa
Shut Up and Play your Guitar.
Frank Zappa
A true Zen saying: Nothing is what I want.
Frank Zappa
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
Frank Zappa
