More quotes by Frank Zappa
Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.
Frank Zappa
A wise man once said, never discuss philosophy or politics in a disco environment.
Frank Zappa
I believe that people have a right to decide their own destinies people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only so long as) individual citizens give it a temporary license to exist, in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy, you own the government. It doesn't own you.
Frank Zappa
Scientists believe that the universe is made of hydrogen because they claim it's the most plentiful ingredient. I claim that the most plentiful ingredient is stupidity.
Frank Zappa
You've got to be digging it while it's happening 'cause it just might be a one shot deal.
Frank Zappa
I'm the devil's advocate. We have our own worshipers.
Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa
I write what I like to write. Those who like to listen to it, listen to it. And the ones who don't, watch football and drink beer, jog, go to discos and so forth. I never claimed to be a man for all seasons.
Frank Zappa
All that we got here is American made. It's a little bit cheesy, but it's nicely displayed.
Frank Zappa
To me absurdity is the only reality
Frank Zappa
I want a girl that can swallow my pride.
Frank Zappa
I think that if a person doesn't feel cynical then they're out of phase with the 20th century. Being cynical is the only way to deal with modern civilization - you can't just swallow it whole.
Frank Zappa
What kind of man can name a child Moon Unit?
Frank Zappa
The lifestyle that I have is probably neither desirable nor useful to most people.
Frank Zappa
I have been monitoring your earthly broadcasts for many years.
Frank Zappa
Music is always a commentary on society.
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
