Frank Zappa

“Music is always a commentary on society.”

“Without deviation progress is not possible.”

“The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.”

“The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.”

“All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.”

“There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.”

“It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.”

“Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.”

“There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another.”

“I searched for years I found no love. I'm sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.”

“One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.”

“Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.”
