Quotes
- “I realized that graffiti was not my party, when I got to know almost everyone. The problem is that graffiti artists, if you remove all the pretentious pathos, are cowardly by nature and can’t do anything - they attack the weak and are not ready to do anything against the strong. I wouldn’t be annoyed, but, on the contrary, inspired by all these dirty tags, if they would have moved overnight from the defenseless walls of the battered mansions, for example, to cars. This would be their strength, courage, and not a jackal playing up to the powers that be, who threw the old houses to pieces ” [3] - Cyril Who, 2012 .
