Banksy in Banging Your Head Against A Brick Wall
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 in Wall and Piece
Stell dir eine Stadt vor, in der Graffiti nicht illegal ist, eine Stadt in der jeder malen kann, was er will. In der jede Straße gefüllt ist mit millionen Farben und kleinen Sätzen. Wo es niemals langweilig ist, auf den Bus zu warten. Eine Stadt, die sich anfühlt wie ein lebendiges Wesen und die jedem gehört, nicht nur Immobilienmaklern und großen Unternehmen. Stell dir so eine Stadt vor und hör auf dich an die Wand da zu lehnen - die ist noch feucht.
Banksy in Existencilism

"Everybody has to feel superior to somebody," she said. "But it's customary to present a little proof before you take the privilege."
Don't wanna sleep, don't wanna die, just wanna go a-travellin' through the pastures of the sky.
You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.
Would you reach in the drawer there and give me my purse. A girl doesn't read this sort of thing without her lipstick.
We don't belong to each other: he's an independent, and so am I.
I've committed to nothing... and that's just suicide by tiny, tiny increments.
I've been thinking with my guts since I was fourteen years old, and frankly speaking, between you and me, I have come to the conclusion that my guts have shit for brains.
It's a mystery of human chemistry and I don't understand it, some people, as far as their senses are concerned, just feel like home.
It's not what you like but what you are like that's important.
It's no wonder we're all such a mess, is it? We're like Tom Hanks in Big. Little boys and girls trapped in adult bodies and forced to get on with it.
My friends don't seem to be friends at all but people whose phone numbers I haven't lost.
People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss.

It's brilliant, being depressed; you can behave as badly as you like.
I don't even feel as if I'm the center of my own world, so how am I supposed to feel as though I'm the center of anyone else's?
I lost the plot for a while then. And I lost the subplot, the script, the soundtrack, the intermission, my popcorn, the credits, and the exit sign.

As far as I can remember, I have always wanted everything from life, everything it can possibly give me. This desire separates me from people who are willing to settle for less. I cannot even comprehend how people's desires can be small, ambitions narrow and limited, when the possibilities are endless.
Until the stifling heat of summer sets in, my neighborhood is suspended in momentary perfection, a fantasy filled with swirling gusts of pink and white petals that rain down on the sunlit pavement.
Wirklich zuhören können nur ganz wenige Menschen. Und so wie Momo sich aufs Zuhören verstand, war es ganz und gar einmalig.
Michael Ende in Momo
1People never seemed to notice that, by saving time, they were losing something else. No one cared to admit that life was becoming ever poorer, bleaker and more monotonous. The ones who felt this most keenly were the children, because no one had time for them any more. But time is life itself, and life resides in the human heart. And the more people saved, the less they had.
Michael Ende in Momo
But time is life, and life exists in our hearts, and the more of it that the people saved, the less they actually had.
