Italo Calvino
“You pick your way past young men and girls sitting on the steps, you wander bewildered among those austere walls which students’ hands have arabesqued with outsize capital writing and detailed graffiti, just as the cavemen felt the need to decorate the cold walls of their caves to become masters of the tormenting mineral alienness, to make them familiar, empty them into their own inner space, annex them to the physical reality of living.”
― Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

Banksy
“Speak softly, but carry a big can of paint.”
― Banksy, Wall and Piece
