Frank Zappa

"If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library."

"Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ass."

"Music is always a commentary on society."

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

"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."

"Politics is the entertainment branch of industry."

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

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

"Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid."
