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.

More quotes by Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
Banksy
I don't know if street art ever really works indoors. If you domesticate an animal, it goes from being wild and free to sterile, fat and sleepy. So maybe the art should stay outside.
Banksy
Keep your coins, I want change.
Banksy
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
If you have a statue in the city centre you could go past it every day on your way to school and never even notice it, right. But as soon as someone puts a traffic cone on its head, you've made your own sculpture.
Banksy
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
Banksy
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
Banksy
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
Graffiti ultimately wins out over proper art because it becomes part of your city, it' s a tool I'll meet you in that pub, you know, the one opposite that wall with a picture of a monkey holding a chainsaw. I mean, how much more useful can a painting be than that?
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
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
Banksy
Is graffiti art or vandalism? That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so no, I don't like to use the word 'art' at all.
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
Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
Banksy
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
Banksy
Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place. Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.
Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
