Quick! Your favorite Zappa quotes!
Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated. "Wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein" - Pauly Shore.
It's a real Zappa© quote:
ReplyDeleteRock musician Frank Zappa (1940-1993) said in a February 1971 interview (available on YouTube):
“Well I think that progress is not possible without deviation. And I think that it’s important that people be aware of some of the creative ways in which some of their fellow men are deviating from the norm, because in some instances they might find these deviations inspiring and might suggest further deviations which might cause progress, you never know.”
In a 1987 book, this quote was shortened to, “My attitude toward anybody’s sexual persuasion is this: without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.” The quote is usually presented as, “Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.”
