I think that’s why I gave up smoking.”

Johnny Marr (1963) musician

Context: Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums. Graffiti has more chance of meaning something or changing stuff than anything indoors.

And even if you don't come up with a picture to cure world poverty you can make somebody smile while they're having a piss.
