More quotes by Frank Zappa
Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
Frank Zappa
Tobacco is my favorite vegetable.
Frank Zappa
Call any vegetable and the chances are good that the vegetable will respond to you.
Frank Zappa
If you really love guitar, you're going to spend every waking hour stroking the thing.
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
If you are home, and you got no place to go, and you want to, just blow yourself up ... Go ahead ... The drugs themselves ... There's a price for doing stuff to yourself.
Frank Zappa
Gave my money all to you, took my watch and pawned it, too.
Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa
Mama stroked his dinger, Daddy got stinky finger.
Frank Zappa
The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama. Any composition (or improvisation) which remains consonant and 'regular' throughout is, for me, equivalent to watching a movie with only 'good guys' in it, or eating cottage cheese.
Frank Zappa
They tried to make me go to Catholic school, too. I lasted a very short time. When the penguin came after me with a ruler, I was out of there.
Frank Zappa
I never have no trouble with my rubber girl.
Frank Zappa
You know, people are basically shitty
Frank Zappa
Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, uses that something to support their own existence.
Frank Zappa
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.
Frank Zappa
