I think the anti-smoking business is a yuppie invention-an extension of the concept that we'll always be young, rich, and healthy.

More quotes by Frank Zappa
Beauty is a pair of shoes that makes you wanna die.
Frank Zappa
My school spirit is at an all time low, I'm losing my status at the school.
Frank Zappa
The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.
Frank Zappa
The whiskers sticking up from underneath his pancake makeup, and yet he was a beautiful lady.
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
You've got to be digging it while it's happening 'cause it just might be a one shot deal.
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
I would say that today, dishonesty is the rule, and honesty the exception. It could be, statistically, that more people are honest than dishonest, but the few that really control things are not honest, and that tips the balance.
Frank Zappa
Find her, blind her, see who designed her. Act like a dummy until you grind her.
Frank Zappa
If we can't be free at least we can be cheap.
Frank Zappa
No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.
Frank Zappa
Sit and spin 'til you rot on the cosmic utensil.
Frank Zappa
I think it is good that books still exist, but they do make me sleepy.
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
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
Your mind is totally controlled, it has been stuffed into my mold. And you will do as you are told, until the rights to you are sold.
Frank Zappa
Very few people do covers of my tunes.
Frank Zappa
I never have no trouble with my rubber girl.
Frank Zappa
If classical music is the state of the art, then the arts are in a sad state.
Frank Zappa
Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST.
Frank Zappa
