More quotes by Frank Zappa
Republicans stand for raw, unbridled evil and greed and ignorance smothered in balloons and ribbons.
Frank Zappa
Beauty is a pair of shoes that makes you wanna die.
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
Out on a 30 day tour, you got nothing, but groupies and promoters to love you.
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
Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which?
Frank Zappa
The whiskers sticking up from underneath his pancake makeup, and yet he was a beautiful lady.
Frank Zappa
Music is the most physically inspiring of all the arts.
Frank Zappa
Did you ever consider that LSD was really one of the most dangerous drugs ever manufactured because the people who took it turned into yuppies?
Frank Zappa
Unbind your mind, there is no time.
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'm probably more famous for sitting on the toilet than for anything else that I do.
Frank Zappa
Shut Up and Play your Guitar.
Frank Zappa
I think it's really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It's such an absurdity to take anything really seriously ... I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what's the story here? Being alive is so weird.
Frank Zappa
Call any vegetable and the chances are good that the vegetable will respond to you.
Frank Zappa
Anybody who wants religion is welcome to it, as far as I'm concerned--I support your right to enjoy it. However, I would appreciate it if you exhibited more respect for the rights of those people who do not wish to share your dogma, rapture, or necrodestination.
Frank Zappa
I think that if a person doesn't feel cynical then they're out of phase with the 20th century. Being cynical is the only way to deal with modern civilization - you can't just swallow it whole.
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
Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ass.
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.
