More quotes by Frank Zappa
Consider for a moment any beauty in the name Ralph.
Frank Zappa
Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be.
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
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

Frank Zappa
The devil, he's about this big. He had a red suit on and a widow's peak, and then a pointed tail, and like a sulfur reek. Yes, it was him alright, I swear.
Frank Zappa
One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.
Frank Zappa
If you are home, and you got no place to go, and you want to, just blow yourself up ... Go ahead ... The drugs themselves ... There's a price for doing stuff to yourself.
Frank Zappa
Anybody who wants religion is welcome to it, as far as I'm concerned--I support your right to enjoy it. However, I would appreciate it if you exhibited more respect for the rights of those people who do not wish to share your dogma, rapture, or necrodestination.
Frank Zappa
All that we got here is American made. It's a little bit cheesy, but it's nicely displayed.
Frank Zappa
He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my right eye. He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my other eye.
Frank Zappa
I'm not going to be Bill Clinton and say I never inhaled. I did inhale. I liked tobacco a lot better.
Frank Zappa
I want a horny little Jewish princess.
Frank Zappa
Music is always a commentary on society.
Frank Zappa
To me absurdity is the only reality
Frank Zappa
The price of meat has just gone up and your old lady has just gone down.
Frank Zappa
I would say that today, dishonesty is the rule, and honesty the exception. It could be, statistically, that more people are honest than dishonest, but the few that really control things are not honest, and that tips the balance.
Frank Zappa
