Text Quotes
A drug is neither moral nor immoral - it’s a chemical compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Interviewer: ‘So Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?’ Frank Zappa: ‘You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table?  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you’ve got any guts. Some of you like Pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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 Quotes) The whole music business in the United States is based on numbers, based on unit sales and not on quality. It’s not based on beauty, it’s based on hype and it’s based on cocaine. It’s based on giving presents of large packages of dollars to play records on the air  (Frank Zappa Quotes) The essence of Christianity is told us in the Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of knowledge. The subtext is, All the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on  (Frank Zappa Quotes) I’m not going to be Bill Clinton and say I never inhaled. I did inhale. I liked tobacco a lot better  (Frank Zappa Quotes) The amazing thing about Freak Out! was that there was nothing quite like it in rock ‘n roll at the time. It was really simultaneously crude and ugly, and incredibly sophisticated. The Beatles were funny, but there was nothing with the kind of sneer that you could feel in the music of Frank Zappa  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Weedly-weedly-wee, make a face, hold your guitar like it’s your weenie, point it heavenward, and look like you’re really doing something. Then, you get a big ovation while the smoke bombs go off, and the motorized lights in your truss twirl around  (Frank Zappa Quotes) I’m the best you can get. Have you guessed me yet? I’m the slime oozin’ out from your TV set!  (Frank Zappa Quotes) If you pick up a guitar and it says, ‘take me, I’m yours,’ then that’s the one for you  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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 Quotes) I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Politics Is the Entertainment Branch of Industry. C-SPAN’s coverage of governmental proceedings is wonderful. Caution! Buffoons on the Hill! Wallowing in blabber and spew, regiments of ex-lawyers and used-car salesmen attempt to distract us from the naughty little surprises served up by deregulated corporate America  (Frank Zappa Quotes) The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively - because without this humble appliance, you can’t know where The Art stops and The Real World begins  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Mr. Gorbachev has apparently stumbled onto one of the best-kept secrets in recent Soviet history: Communism doesn’t work  (Frank Zappa Quotes) I am the slime oozing out from your TV set. You will obey me while I lead you, and eat the garbage while I feed you  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Elvis has left the building to climb up that heavenly stair. So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat?  (Frank Zappa Quotes) I want a steamy little Jewish Princess with over-worked gums, who squeaks when she cums. I don’t want no troll, I just want a Yemenite hole  (Frank Zappa Quotes) She is an office girl, her name is Betty. Her favorite group is Helen Reddy  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Moses, Aaron, Abraham, they’re all a waste of time. It’s your ass that’s on the line  (Frank Zappa Quotes) It would be easier to pay off the national debt overnight than to neutralise the long-range effects of our national stupidity  (Frank Zappa Quotes) When I was growing up, when I was 11 years old I was listening to The Mothers of Invention. You know, I mean I was a Frank Zappa fan in Arkansas  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Children are naive-they trust everyone. School is bad enough, but, if you put a child anywhere in the vicinity of a church, you’re asking for trouble  (Frank Zappa Quotes) They tried to make me go to Catholic school, too. I lasted a very short time. When the penguin came after me with a ruler, I was out of there  (Frank Zappa Quotes) The whole Universe is a large joke. Everything in the Universe are just subdivisions of this joke. So why take anything too serious  (Frank Zappa Quotes) There was a lot of camaraderie among the bands. I remember a lot of times when I’d be driving up Laurel Canyon and pass by the house where Frank Zappa was living and I’d just see people out on the porch playing guitars  (Frank Zappa Quotes) I write what I like to write. Those who like to listen to it, listen to it. And the ones who don’t, watch football and drink beer, jog, go to discos and so forth. I never claimed to be a man for all seasons.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Bobby Martin has another project. He’s building a house. He’s out there at 6 o’clock in the morning hammering nails.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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 Quotes) Bad facts make bad law, and people who write bad laws are in my opinion more dangerous than songwriters who celebrate sexuality.  (Frank Zappa Quotes)
