More quotes by Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
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
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
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 am unable to comment on who may or may not be Banksy, but anyone described as 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like Banksy to me.
Banksy
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
If you have a statue in the city centre you could go past it every day on your way to school and never even notice it, right. But as soon as someone puts a traffic cone on its head, you've made your own sculpture.
Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
Film is incredibly democratic and accessible, it's probably the best option if you actually want to change the world, not just re-decorate it.
Banksy
You owe the companies nothing. You especially don't owe them any courtesy. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
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
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
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
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
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
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
Banksy
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
