More quotes by 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
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
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
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
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 in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for.
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
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
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
Banksy
You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
Banksy
It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.
Banksy
I know street art can feel increasingly like the marketing wing of an art career, so I wanted to make some art without the price tag attached. There's no gallery show or book or film. It's pointless. Which hopefully means something.
Banksy
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
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
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.
Banksy
We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
