Atheism Quote by Frank Zappa
“I don't think there's a problem. First of all, I don't think music turns people into social liabilities. Because you hear a lyric - there's no medical proof that a person hearing a lyric is going to act out the lyric. There's also no medical proof that if you hear any collection of vowels and consonants, that the hearing of that collection is going to send you to Hell.”

![“On their own, each [character] is a victim of no importance. But when you bring them together, they become a dangerous weapon. Jeanne is the vowel and Sophie the consonant. Psychologists know this phenomenon well. Each individual is harmless, but together they create an explosive chemical…” quote by Claude Chabrol](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/937/claude-chabrol-21663_character_on-their-own-each-character-is-a-victim_319734.jpg)
