More quotes by Frank Zappa
Bad facts make bad law, and people who write bad laws are in my opinion more dangerous than songwriters who celebrate sexuality. Freedom of speech, freedom of religious thought, and the right to due process for composers, performers and retailers are imperiled if the PMRC and the major labels consummate this nasty bargain.
Frank Zappa
The whiskers sticking up from underneath his pancake makeup, and yet he was a beautiful lady.
Frank Zappa
Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.

Anybody who wants religion is welcome to it, as far as I'm concerned--I support your right to enjoy it. However, I would appreciate it if you exhibited more respect for the rights of those people who do not wish to share your dogma, rapture, or necrodestination.

A drug is neither moral nor immoral - it's a chemical compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole.
Frank Zappa
I can take about an hour on the tower of power, as long as I gets a little golden shower.
Frank Zappa
I think it's really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It's such an absurdity to take anything really seriously ... I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what's the story here? Being alive is so weird.
Frank Zappa
Our big prize tonight is fifty American dollars to the girl with the most exciting mammalian protuberances.
Frank Zappa
Find her, blind her, see who designed her. Act like a dummy until you grind her.
Frank Zappa
The devil, he's about this big. He had a red suit on and a widow's peak, and then a pointed tail, and like a sulfur reek. Yes, it was him alright, I swear.
Frank Zappa
All that we got here is American made. It's a little bit cheesy, but it's nicely displayed.
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
There is no hell, there's only France
Frank Zappa
If we can't be free at least we can be cheap.
Frank Zappa
Mr. Gorbachev has apparently stumbled onto one of the best-kept secrets in recent Soviet history: Communism doesn't work.
Frank Zappa
What something is depends more on when it is than anything else.
Frank Zappa
I knew Jimi (Hendrix) and I think that the best thing you could say about Jimi was: there was a person who shouldn't use drugs.
Frank Zappa
I think the anti-smoking business is a yuppie invention-an extension of the concept that we'll always be young, rich, and healthy.
