Not exactly a quote, but I always liked:

She was buns up, kneeling.

I don't know why anyone wouldn't like him as a human being. Well of course in these days he had many traits in common with CEO's who get government bailouts. He was a perfectionist, he was an a****le, he thought himself on a plane above his peers, he was demanding of his employees, and he expected nothing but the best. There are 60+ albums to attest to that. The big difference of course that he had a sense of humor about the whole enterprise. 

If I had a child who wanted to be a musician (and I have children but they are not foolish enough to be musicians, not in the era of "music wants to be free"), I would tell them be exactly like Zappa. Be as dirty as you want, be as political as you want, challenge everything.
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.
