More quotes by Frank Zappa
Beauty is a pair of shoes that makes you wanna die.
Frank Zappa
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
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
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
You is what you am, a cow don't make ham.
Frank Zappa
Republicans stand for raw, unbridled evil and greed and ignorance smothered in balloons and ribbons.
Frank Zappa
I'm probably more famous for sitting on the toilet than for anything else that I do.
Frank Zappa
All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.
Frank Zappa
Censoring what you say is one of the ways in which people who are not nice can take away your personal freedom.
Frank Zappa
Your mind is totally controlled, it has been stuffed into my mold. And you will do as you are told, until the rights to you are sold.
Frank Zappa
Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.
Frank Zappa
Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like Pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read.
Frank Zappa
Music is always a commentary on society.
Frank Zappa
If we cannot be free, we can at least be cheap
Frank Zappa
Weedly-weedly-wee, make a face, hold your guitar like it's your weenie, point it heavenward, and look like you're really doing something. Then, you get a big ovation while the smoke bombs go off, and the motorized lights in your truss twirl around.
Frank Zappa
Modern Americans behave as if intelligence were some sort of hideous deformity.
Frank Zappa
The whole foundation of Christianity is based on the idea that intellectualism is the work of the Devil. Remember the apple on the tree? Okay, it was the Tree of Knowledge. You eat this apple, you're going to be as smart as God. We can't have that.
Frank Zappa
I think pop music has done more for oral intercourse than anything else that has ever happened, and vice versa.
Frank Zappa
Anything Anytime Anyplace For No Reason At All (or AAAFNRAA)
Frank Zappa
Guitar playing, as currently understood, has more to do with sports than it does to do with music. It's an Olympic challenge type of situation. The challenges are in the realm of speed, redundancy, choreography, and grooming... ...clouds of educated gnat-notes.
Frank Zappa
