More quotes by Frank Zappa
Journalism is kind of scary and of it we should be wary.
Frank Zappa
I can take about an hour on the tower of power, as long as I gets a little golden shower.
Frank Zappa
I mean, if you want to hurt yourself, go ahead. It's like, if you want to jack off, go ahead, just don't 'spoo' on a public bus or something . Do whatever you want to do. Just don't get it in somebody else's face.
Frank Zappa
You're baloney without the mayo.
Frank Zappa
Everything on this planet has something to do with music. Music functions in the realm of sculptured air.
Frank Zappa
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa
If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine - but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good - and CARES about any of it - to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working.
Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa
I think the music of the Fifties is really good. I suspect it's much better musically than much of what's available now. Not in terms of production, but in terms of content.
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
Very few people do covers of my tunes.
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
Brown shoes don't make it.
Frank Zappa
In your dreams you can see yourself as a prophet saving the world.
Frank Zappa
Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which?
Frank Zappa
My guitar wants to kill your mama.
Frank Zappa
