Frank Zappa
The ONLY thing that seems to band all nations together, is that their governments are universally bad.
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
The bigger the cushion, the better the pushin'.
Frank Zappa
Censoring what you say is one of the ways in which people who are not nice can take away your personal freedom.
