More quotes by Frank Zappa
Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.
Frank Zappa
The FCC extorts broadcasters by threatening to take away their licenses for infringements which are usually the result of complaints from an extreme, right wing, tiny bunch of individuals.
Frank Zappa
Journalism is kind of scary and of it we should be wary.
Frank Zappa
I think that if a person doesn't feel cynical then they're out of phase with the 20th century. Being cynical is the only way to deal with modern civilization - you can't just swallow it whole.
Frank Zappa
Tighten my headband for an extra rush.
Frank Zappa
Okay, it was the Tree of Knowledge. You eat this apple you're going to be as smart as God. We can't have that.
Frank Zappa
In your dreams you can see yourself as a prophet saving the world.
Frank Zappa
As far as rearing children goes, the basic idea I try to keep in mind is that a child is a person. Just because they happen to be a little shorter than you doesn't mean they are dumber than you.
Frank Zappa
The bigger the cushion, the better the pushin'.
Frank Zappa
The lifestyle that I have is probably neither desirable nor useful to most people.
Frank Zappa
Science is moving closer to weaponry, and Art is moving closer to commercialism. And never the twain shall meet.
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
Most people don't bother about their friends in the vegetable kingdom.
Frank Zappa
I'm not black, but there's a whole lot of times I wish I could say I'm not white.
Frank Zappa
Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them.
Frank Zappa
The people of your century no longer require the service of composers. A composer is as useful to a person in a jogging suit as a dinsoaur turd in the middle of his runway.
Frank Zappa
I'm more interested in melodic things. I think the biggest challenge when you go to play a solo is trying to invent a melody on the spot.
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
Everything on this planet has something to do with music. Music functions in the realm of sculptured air.
Frank Zappa
You've got to be digging it while it's happening 'cause it just might be a one shot deal.
Frank Zappa
