Every cripple has his own way of walking.

The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it.

Other people’s interruptions of your work are relatively insignificant compared with the countless times you interrupt yourself.

If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.

If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don’t hoard it. Don’t dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

“Message? What the hell do you think I am, a bloody postman?” - Brendan Behan

31 quotes from Brendan Behan: 'I respect kindness in human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I don't respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.', 'I'm a drinker with writing problems.', and 'Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves.'
