Maybe you should stay with your mama, you're kind of stupid and ugly, too.
Frank Zappa

Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.
Frank Zappa

Shut Up and Play your Guitar.
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.

Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them. With reading comprehension being what it is in the U. S., you can safely toss that one out the window. If you want to judge by the listening habits of people who buy records, the first thing they do is put it on and talk over it.

Power will be maintained by the groovy guy or gal who gets the most media coverage for his sleaze. Naturally, his friends in various businesses will do okay, too.

If lyrics make people do things, how come we don't love each other?
Frank Zappa

Elmer has the mentality of approximately one peanut.
Frank Zappa

If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine - but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good - and CARES about any of it - to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working.

Whatever you have to do to have a good time, let's get on with it, so long as it doesn't cause a murder.
Frank Zappa
Image
The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally for other arts: figuratively - because without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins.
Frank Zappa

Unbind your mind, there is no time.
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
Image
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.

She is an office girl, her name is Betty. Her favorite group is Helen Reddy.

The lifestyle that I have is probably neither desirable nor useful to most people.
