More quotes by 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
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
Banksy
It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.
Banksy
Art is not like other culture because its success is not made by its audience. The public fill concert halls and cinemas every day, we read novels by the millions, and buy records by the billions. 'We the people' affect the making and quality of most of our culture, but not our art.
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 a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
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
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
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
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
I used to tell everyone I met to be an artist..... I don't do that any more.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
Although you might have to creep about at night and lie to your mum it’s actually one of the more honest art forms available. There is no elitism or hype, it exhibits on the best walls a town has to offer and nobody is put off by the price of admission.
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 originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
Banksy
You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
Banksy
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
