I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.

More quotes by 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
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
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
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
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 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
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
I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public they forget that invisibility is a superpower.
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 am unable to comment on who may or may not be Banksy, but anyone described as 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like Banksy to me.
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
This is a big surprise I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me.
Banksy
I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website - but on the internet, people only look at pictures of kittens.
Banksy
It's impossible to predict which paintings will last and which won't. In New Orleans I painted on a dilapidated shop in a street littered with abandoned cars and rotting mattresses, then two hours later the piece was gone. It turned out I'd picked the side of a crack house and the proprietor didn't like the attention.
Banksy
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
