Banksy 'Quotes' Plato In His 8th Work In New York City

For the eighth work in his month-long series "Better Out Than In," graffiti artist Banksy has painted a fake quote attributed to the Greek philosopher Plato on a blue door in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

The quote? "I have a theory that you can make any sentence seem profound by writing the name of a dead philosopher at the end of it."

The mural is located at 266-270 Freeman Street in Greenpoint, according to StreetArtNews.

Yesterday the artist unveiled a "broken hearted" balloon in Red Hook:

It was defaced within hours:
