More quotes by 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
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
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
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
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
Banksy
I used to tell everyone I met to be an artist..... I don't do that any more.
Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
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 think you should have to pay to look at graffiti. You should only pay if you want to get rid of 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
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
Banksy
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
Banksy
The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
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
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
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
Banksy
