More quotes by 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
Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which?
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.
Frank Zappa
I want a girl that can swallow my pride.
Frank Zappa
The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama.

Frank Zappa
My school spirit is at an all time low, I'm losing my status at the school.
Frank Zappa

The typical rock fan is not smart enough to know when he is being dumped on.
Frank Zappa
Classical musicians go to the conservatories, rockĀ“n roll musicians go to the garages.
Frank Zappa
Republicans stand for raw, unbridled evil and greed and ignorance smothered in balloons and ribbons.
Frank Zappa
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.
Frank Zappa
I searched for years I found no love. I'm sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.
Frank Zappa
I think it is good that books still exist, but they do make me sleepy.
Frank Zappa
I'm in a big dilemma about my Big-Leg Emma.
Frank Zappa
Elvis has left the building to climb up that heavenly stair. So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat?
Frank Zappa
There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.
Frank Zappa
Consider for a moment any beauty in the name Ralph.
