More quotes by 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
I searched for years I found no love. I'm sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.
Frank Zappa
Nobody looks good bent over. Especially to pick up a check.
Frank Zappa
I'm probably more famous for sitting on the toilet than for anything else that I do.
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
Mama stroked his dinger, Daddy got stinky finger.
Frank Zappa
The soul of our music, The Monkees' music, lies somewhere inbetween the 1 1/2 , the 2 1/2, the 3 3/4 and th giant C-major chord on the piano!
Frank Zappa
I'm not going to be Bill Clinton and say I never inhaled. I did inhale. I liked tobacco a lot better.
Frank Zappa
She was a steady date until she put on some weight.
Frank Zappa
Brown shoes don't make it.
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
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 think the music of the Fifties is really good. I suspect it's much better musically than much of what's available now. Not in terms of production, but in terms of content.
Frank Zappa
Why doncha come on over to the house and I'll show 'em to ya?
Frank Zappa
Republicans stand for raw, unbridled evil and greed and ignorance smothered in balloons and ribbons.
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
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
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
Very few people do covers of my tunes.
Frank Zappa
He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my right eye. He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my other eye.
