More quotes by Frank Zappa
I'm probably more famous for sitting on the toilet than for anything else that I do.
Frank Zappa
Find her, blind her, see who designed her. Act like a dummy until you grind her.
Frank Zappa
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.
Frank Zappa
Maybe you should stay with your mama, you're kind of stupid and ugly, too.
Frank Zappa
The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama.

Frank Zappa
A true Zen saying: Nothing is what I want.
Frank Zappa
There is no hell, there's only France
Frank Zappa
The most important thing to do in your life is to not interfere with somebody else's life.

Frank Zappa
Most people don't bother about their friends in the vegetable kingdom.
Frank Zappa
Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be.
Frank Zappa
A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.
Frank Zappa
My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.
Frank Zappa
People are just waiting around to get certified.
Frank Zappa
What kind of man can name a child Moon Unit?
Frank Zappa
I think love lyrics have contributed to the general aura of bad mental health in America.
Frank Zappa
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
