More quotes by Frank Zappa
If classical music is the state of the art, then the arts are in a sad state.
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
What kind of man can name a child Moon Unit?
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
She is an office girl, her name is Betty. Her favorite group is Helen Reddy.
Frank Zappa
Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.
Frank Zappa
I think that if you use the so-called strong words you'll get your point across faster and you can save a lot of beating around the bush. Why are people afraid of words? Sometimes the dumbest thing that gets said makes the point for you.
Frank Zappa
Out on a 30 day tour, you got nothing, but groupies and promoters to love you.
Frank Zappa
The lifestyle that I have is probably neither desirable nor useful to most people.
Frank Zappa
To me absurdity is the only reality
Frank Zappa
Republican is fine, if your a millionaire. Democrats is fair, if all you own is what you wear. Neither of them's really right, cause neither of them care.
Frank Zappa
Classical music is this music that was written by a bunch of dead people a long time ago.
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
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
Frank Zappa
I'm not going to be Bill Clinton and say I never inhaled. I did inhale. I liked tobacco a lot better.
Frank Zappa
The most important thing to do in your life is to not interfere with somebody else's life.
Frank Zappa
Find her, blind her, see who designed her. Act like a dummy until you grind her.
Frank Zappa
Why doncha come on over to the house and I'll show 'em to ya?
Frank Zappa
I think it is good that books still exist, but they do make me sleepy.
Frank Zappa
Catholic girls with tiny little mustaches.
