More quotes by Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
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
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 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
This is a big surprise I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me.
Banksy
Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for.
Banksy
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
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
Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.
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
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
Banksy
I tell myself I use art to promote dissent, but maybe I am just using dissent to promote my art. I plead not guilty to selling out. But I plead it from a bigger house than I used to live in.
Banksy
I know street art can feel increasingly like the marketing wing of an art career, so I wanted to make some art without the price tag attached. There's no gallery show or book or film. It's pointless. Which hopefully means something.
Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
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
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
