More quotes by Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
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
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
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
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
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
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 need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
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
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
We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
Banksy
You're mind is working at its best when you're being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity.
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
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
Banksy
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
