More quotes by 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
My guitar wants to kill your mama.
Frank Zappa
You know, people are basically shitty
Frank Zappa
The richest people in the world aren't particularly smart or happy. And the happiest people in the world aren't particularly smart or rich.… That leaves me making music. But we can't talk about that.
Frank Zappa
Beauty is a pair of shoes that makes you wanna die.
Frank Zappa
My school spirit is at an all time low, I'm losing my status at the school.
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.
Frank Zappa
To me absurdity is the only reality
Frank Zappa
Studied law, but not qualified to practice it.
Frank Zappa
There is no hell, there's only France
Frank Zappa
The whole foundation of Christianity is based on the idea that intellectualism is the work of the Devil. Remember the apple on the tree? 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
It would be easier to pay off the national debt overnight than to neutralise the long-range effects of our national stupidity
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.
Frank Zappa
You've got to be digging it while it's happening 'cause it just might be a one shot deal.
Frank Zappa
Very few people do covers of my tunes.
Frank Zappa
Music is the most physically inspiring of all the arts.
Frank Zappa
What something is depends more on when it is than anything else.
Frank Zappa
This here song might offend some, if it does it's because your dumb.
Frank Zappa
Cocaine decisions that you make today, will mean nothing later on when you get nose decay.
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
