Frank Zappa
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
Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
Frank Zappa
Our criminal institutions are full of creeps like you who do wrong things, and many of them were driven to these crimes by the horrible force called music.
Frank Zappa
When God created Republicans, he gave up on everything else.
Frank Zappa
Books Are Good For Lots Of Uses, Not For Dropping In The Toilet.
Frank Zappa
To me absurdity is the only reality
Frank Zappa
Your mind is totally controlled, it has been stuffed into my mold. And you will do as you are told, until the rights to you are sold.
Frank Zappa
