The Frank Zappa AAAFNRAA Birthday Bundle

Famous quotes containing the words frank, zappa, birthday and/or bundle:

“I must work, so as not to be a fool, to get on, to become a journalist, because that’s what I want!...

I must have something besides a husband and children, something that I can devote myself to!”

““There is Lowell, who’s striving Parnassus to climb
With a whole bale of isms tied together with rhyme,
He might get on alone, spite of brambles and boulders,
But he can’t with that bundle he has on his shoulders,
The top of the hill he will ne’er come nigh reaching
Till he learns the distinction ‘twixt singing and preaching;”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
