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.

More quotes by Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
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
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
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
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
Banksy
Keep your coins, I want change.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a sh*t.
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
It's impossible to predict which paintings will last and which won't. In New Orleans I painted on a dilapidated shop in a street littered with abandoned cars and rotting mattresses, then two hours later the piece was gone. It turned out I'd picked the side of a crack house and the proprietor didn't like the attention.
Banksy
There's obviously nothing wrong with selling your art - only an idiot with a trust fund would tell you otherwise. But it's confusing to know how far you should take it.
Banksy
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
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
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
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 don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
