More quotes by Frank Zappa
It would be easier to pay off the national debt overnight than to neutralise the long-range effects of our national stupidity
Frank Zappa
I'm the devil's advocate. We have our own worshipers.
Frank Zappa
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
Michael is Janet and Janet is Michael.
Frank Zappa
The last election just laid the foundation of the next 500 years of Dark Ages.
Frank Zappa
Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.
Frank Zappa
I'm more interested in melodic things. I think the biggest challenge when you go to play a solo is trying to invent a melody on the spot.
Frank Zappa
If we can't be free at least we can be cheap.
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
I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?
Frank Zappa
All the old history was written for the amusement of the ruling classes. The lower classes couldn't read, and their rulers didn't care about remembering what happened to them.
Frank Zappa
I think pop music has done more for oral intercourse than anything else that has ever happened, and vice versa.
Frank Zappa
Our criminal institutions are full of creeps like you who do wrong things, and many of them were driven to these crimes by the horrible force called music.
Frank Zappa
Bad facts make bad law, and people who write bad laws are in my opinion more dangerous than songwriters who celebrate sexuality. Freedom of speech, freedom of religious thought, and the right to due process for composers, performers and retailers are imperiled if the PMRC and the major labels consummate this nasty bargain.
Frank Zappa
Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not.
Frank Zappa
There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.
Frank Zappa
All that we got here is American made. It's a little bit cheesy, but it's nicely displayed.
Frank Zappa
If lyrics make people do things, how come we don't love each other?
Frank Zappa
I never have no trouble with my rubber girl.
Frank Zappa
The whole Universe is a large joke. Everything in the Universe are just subdivisions of this joke. So why take anything too serious.
Frank Zappa
