I have been monitoring your earthly broadcasts for many years.

Producing satire is kind of hopeless because of the literacy rate of the American public.

Call any vegetable and the chances are good that the vegetable will respond to you.

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
Image
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.
Frank Zappa

The typical rock fan is not smart enough to know when he is being dumped on.

One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.

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.

Let's not be too rough on our own ignorance, it's what makes America great.
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.

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

He wants to do you in cause the color of your skin.
Frank Zappa
Image
I'm not black, but there's a whole lot of times I wish I could say I'm not white.
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
Image
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.

I can take about an hour on the tower of power, as long as I gets a little golden shower.

The price of meat has just gone up and your old lady has just gone down.

Since I didn't have any kind of formal training, it didn't make any difference to me if I was listening to Lightnin' Slim, or a vocal group called the Jewels ... , or Webern, or Varèse, or Stravinsky. To me it was all good music.
