A witty and thought-provoking quote from the infamous street artist Banksy!
This quote suggests that if graffiti were to have any real impact or effect on society, it would be seen as a threat or an issue that needs to be controlled. In other words, if graffiti were actually able to change anything - whether it's social norms, cultural attitudes, or even just people's perceptions of the world - then it would be viewed as something that requires regulation or suppression.
This quote also implies that the value and significance of art are often tied to its commercial viability and acceptance by mainstream society. If graffiti were to become too effective in challenging the status quo or making people think critically, it would be seen as a problem that needs to be addressed - rather than being celebrated for its artistic merit.
What do you think this quote says about our society's values and attitudes towards art, creativity, and dissent?
