More quotes by Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
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
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
Banksy
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
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
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
It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.
Banksy
Live as a villain, die as a hero
Banksy
Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
Banksy
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
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
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 can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
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
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
