More quotes by Banksy
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
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
Banksy
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
Banksy
If you don't own a train company then you go and paint on one instead... it all comes from that thing at school when you had to have name tags in the back of something... that makes it belong to you. You can own half the city by scribbling your name over it.
Banksy
Live as a villain, die as a hero
Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
Painting something that defies the law of the land is good. Painting something that defies the law of the land and the law of gravity at the same time is ideal.
Banksy
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
Banksy

Banksy
We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
Banksy
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
Banksy
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
Banksy
Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for.
Banksy
You live in the city and all the time there are signs telling you what to do and billboards trying to sell you something.
Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
Banksy
I don't think you should have to pay to look at graffiti. You should only pay if you want to get rid of it.
