More quotes by Frank Zappa
I want a hairy little Jewish Princess with a brand new nose, who knows where it goes.
Frank Zappa
Elmer has the mentality of approximately one peanut.
Frank Zappa
Wowie zowie, love me do. Wowie zowie, and I'll love you, too.
Frank Zappa
Outdoors for me is walking from the car to the ticket desk at the airport
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
Studied law, but not qualified to practice it.
Frank Zappa
I have been monitoring your earthly broadcasts for many years.
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 searched for years I found no love. I'm sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.
Frank Zappa
Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like Pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read.
Frank Zappa
To me absurdity is the only reality
Frank Zappa
Nobody looks good with brown lipstick on.
Frank Zappa
Is this something new, having people stomp on you? Is it what I need to do for your pleasure?
Frank Zappa
I think that if a person doesn't feel cynical then they're out of phase with the 20th century. Being cynical is the only way to deal with modern civilization - you can't just swallow it whole.
Frank Zappa
The whiskers sticking up from underneath his pancake makeup, and yet he was a beautiful lady.
Frank Zappa
Science is moving closer to weaponry, and Art is moving closer to commercialism. And never the twain shall meet.
Frank Zappa
In your dreams you can see yourself as a prophet saving the world.
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
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
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
