More quotes by Frank Zappa
I think it's really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It's such an absurdity to take anything really seriously ... I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what's the story here? Being alive is so weird.
Frank Zappa
I write what I like to write. Those who like to listen to it, listen to it. And the ones who don't, watch football and drink beer, jog, go to discos and so forth. I never claimed to be a man for all seasons.
Frank Zappa
Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.
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
Gave my money all to you, took my watch and pawned it, too.
Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa
I want a girl that can swallow my pride.
Frank Zappa
No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.
Frank Zappa
Let's not be too rough on our own ignorance, it's what makes America great.
Frank Zappa
I'm probably more famous for sitting on the toilet than for anything else that I do.
Frank Zappa
Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them.
Frank Zappa
Power will be maintained by the groovy guy or gal who gets the most media coverage for his sleaze. Naturally, his friends in various businesses will do okay, too.
Frank Zappa
The people of your century no longer require the service of composers. A composer is as useful to a person in a jogging suit as a dinsoaur turd in the middle of his runway.
Frank Zappa
Nobody looks good with brown lipstick on.
Frank Zappa
Music is always a commentary on society.
Frank Zappa
I searched for years I found no love. I'm sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.
Frank Zappa
Without deviance from normality, there can be no progress.
Frank Zappa
They tried to make me go to Catholic school, too. I lasted a very short time. When the penguin came after me with a ruler, I was out of there.
Frank Zappa
I detest 'love lyrics.' I think one of the causes of bad mental health in the United States is that people have been raised on 'love lyrics.
Frank Zappa
