Results from Cole's Quotables:

Fact of the matter is, there is no hip world, there is no straight world. There's a world, you see, which has people in it who believe in a variety of different things. Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, use that something to support their own existence.: Frank Zappa (1940 - 1993)

Drop out of school before your mind rots from our mediocre educational system.: Frank Zappa (1940 - 1993), Liner notes from the album, "Freak Out," 1965

You decriminalize all drugs and tax them same way as you do alcohol. You decriminalize prostitution. You make gambling legal. That will put the budget back on the road to recovery, and you'll have plenty of tax revenue coming in for all of your social programs, and to run the army.: Frank Zappa (1940 - 1993), Interview with this submitter, New York City, 5/08/1980
The function of government ought to be: make sure you have good water to drink, somebody picking up the garbage, good roads to drive on, enough electricity to turn your light bulbs and your record player on, and whatever smaller amounts of regulatory assistance is necessary to make this society work.: Frank Zappa (1940 - 1993), Interview with this submitter, New York City, 5/08/1980
I'm interested in the capitalistic way of life, and the reason I like it better than anything else I've seen so far is because competition produces results. Every socialistic type of government where the State theoretically owns everything, and everybody does their little part to help the State, inevitably produces bad art, it produces social inertia, it produces really unhappy people, and it is more repressive than any other kind of government.: Frank Zappa (1940 - 1993), Interview with this submitter, New York City, 5/08/1980
