Don't mind your make-up, you'd better make your mind up.
Frank Zappa

Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be.

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

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.

I ain't the type for begging, I am not the type to plead. If she don't change those evil ways, I'm gonna make her bleed.

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.

I think that if you use the so-called strong words you'll get your point across faster and you can save a lot of beating around the bush. Why are people afraid of words? Sometimes the dumbest thing that gets said makes the point for you.

If we cannot be free, we can at least be cheap

. . . behind each breakaway movement is a breakaway demagogue who will set up his breakaway demagogue government.

Rock music was never written for or performed for conservative tastes.
Frank Zappa

A wise man once said, never discuss philosophy or politics in a disco environment.

Brown shoes don't make it.
Frank Zappa
Image
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.

The most important thing to do in your life is to not interfere with somebody else's life.
Frank Zappa

You've got to be digging it while it's happening 'cause it just might be a one shot deal.
Frank Zappa

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out the uglier everything seems.
