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.
BanksyBanksy You can win the rat race but you’re still a rat.
BanksyBanksy I don’t believe in anything. I’m just here for the violence.
BanksyBanksy 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.
BanksyBanksy If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
BanksyBanksy A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
BanksyBanksy Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing. And even if you don’t come up with a picture to cure world poverty you can make someone smile while they’re having a piss.
BanksyBanksy 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.
BanksyBanksy Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
BanksyBanksy All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
BanksyBanksy Nobody knows what you feel inside unless you tell them.
BanksyBanksy If you want to say something and have people listen then you have to wear a mask. If you want to be honest then you have to live a lie.
BanksyBanksy Gaza is often described as ‘the world’s largest open air prison’ because no-one is allowed to enter or leave. But that seems a bit unfair to prisons – they don’t have their electricity and drinking water cut off randomly almost every day.
BanksyBanksy A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
BanksyBanksy T.V. has made going to the theatre seem pointless, photography has pretty much killed painting but graffiti has remained gloriously unspoilt by progress.
BanksyBanksy 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.

The black bubble dress is a must! The leggings are absolutely amazing too, they fit perfectly and let you breath when still being super high-waisted. They are everything and so easy to pair anything with.
Beth DittoBeth Ditto You don’t really have to dress a ton of actors. You don’t really have to spend a bunch of money lining up extras to look the time period.
Boyd HolbrookBoyd Holbrook There ain’t a woman in the world that wants to hear the word yes when she asks if you think that she looks chubby in that dress. And if she cooks all day you better eat it with a smile; it doesn’t matter if it tastes just like bad gravy on a Goodyear tire.
Brad PaisleyBrad Paisley There are vogues and fashions in jurisprudence as in literature and art and dress.
Benjamin CardozoBenjamin Cardozo Just to see what a pink dress can mean to a woman, any woman, but a disabled woman, that’s extra special and thrilling because they shouldn’t be separated and their disabilities don’t have to separate them in anyway.
Betsey JohnsonBetsey Johnson I hate to say it, but the truth is that the upscale line is where I get respect as a designer. The higher the price range, the higher the respect level from the industry, even though it’s much easier to make a great $500 dress than a great $100 dress.
Betsey JohnsonBetsey Johnson A woman who has style doesn’t necessarily need designers – designer wear. A woman who has style can put on any frock or dress or pant or whatever and still bring something to it.
Bethann HardisonBethann Hardison If they [at the audition] don’t like the way you sound they won’t buy you anyway, ripped dress or no ripped dress, ass hanging out or no ass hanging out.
