Sayings by Banksy
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
I've never been a fan of the art world. I think it's a bit pretentious.
The most effective way to communicate is through humor. Because if you can make people laugh, you can make them listen.
I don't want to be a celebrity. I just want to be anonymous.
The world is a parody of itself. And I'm just trying to capture it.
People who get up early in the morning cause war, death, and famine.
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.
A lot of people never use their initiative because no one told them to.
The people who truly deface our neighborhoods are the companies that scrawl giant slogans across buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff.
We can’t do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime, we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
The art world is the biggest joke going. It’s a rest home for the overprivileged, the pretentious, and the weak.
There’s no such thing as good publicity. Just publicity.
