If lyrics make people do things, how come we don't love each other?
Frank Zappa
Image
Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them.
Frank Zappa
Image
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

I have been monitoring your earthly broadcasts for many years.
Frank Zappa
Image
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.
Frank Zappa
Image
I can take about an hour on the tower of power, as long as I gets a little golden shower.
Frank Zappa
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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

It's a despicable thing to share your personal inner torment for money.
