More quotes by Frank Zappa
You know, people are basically shitty
Frank Zappa
Whatever you have to do to have a good time, let's get on with it, so long as it doesn't cause a murder.
Frank Zappa
I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.
Frank Zappa
Since I didn't have any kind of formal training, it didn't make any difference to me if I was listening to Lightnin' Slim, or a vocal group called the Jewels ... , or Webern, or Varèse, or Stravinsky. To me it was all good music.
Frank Zappa
The lifestyle that I have is probably neither desirable nor useful to most people.
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
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
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
Outdoors for me is walking from the car to the ticket desk at the airport
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
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 can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
Frank Zappa
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer.
Frank Zappa
While your children are sleeping, your puppy is crappin'.
Frank Zappa
Mama stroked his dinger, Daddy got stinky finger.
Frank Zappa
You are what you is, you is what you am, you ain't what you're not. So see what you got?
Frank Zappa
Don't mind your make-up, you'd better make your mind up.
Frank Zappa
Unbind your mind, there is no time.
Frank Zappa
Find her, blind her, see who designed her. Act like a dummy until you grind her.
Frank Zappa
If lyrics make people do things, how come we don't love each other?
Frank Zappa
