More quotes by Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
Banksy
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
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
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
My lawyer's opinion is that the cops might not actually be able to charge me with criminal damage any more - because theoretically my graffiti actually increases the value of property rather than decreasing it. That's his theory, but then my lawyer also believes wearing novelty cartoon ties is a good look.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
Banksy
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
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
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
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
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
Banksy
Keep your coins, I want change.
Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
Banksy
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
Banksy
The Art we look at is made by only a select few. A small group create, promote, purchase, exhibit and decide the success of Art. Only a few hundred people in the world have any real say. When you go to an Art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires
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
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
