Frank Zappa
The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama.

Frank Zappa
Mr. Gorbachev has apparently stumbled onto one of the best-kept secrets in recent Soviet history: Communism doesn't work.
Frank Zappa
What something is depends more on when it is than anything else.
