If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.

On Painting Rats, and the Glorification of Them. They exist without permission. They are hated, hunted and persecuted. They live in quiet desperation amongst the filth. And yet they are capable of bringing entire civilizations to their knees. If you are dirty, insignificant, and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
Banksy
You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
Banksy
Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.

Brandalism Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It's yours to take, rearrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
Film is incredibly democratic and accessible, it's probably the best option if you actually want to change the world, not just re-decorate it.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
Banksy
You owe the companies nothing. You especially don't owe them any courtesy. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs.
Banksy
The art world is the biggest joke going. It's a rest home for the overprivileged, the pretentious, and the weak. And modern art is a disgrace - never have so many people used so much stuff and taken so long to say so little.
Banksy
Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.
