On a hoarding opposite Dublin’s Guinness Brewery there is information about Dubliner Brendan Behan. It gives his date of birth, when he died and mentions some of his writings. It is striking how young he was when he died. He was born on February 9, 1923 and died March 20, 1964.
Behan’s autobiographical novel, Borstal Boy became a worldwide best seller.
One of his celebrated quotes:
The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink and somebody to love you.
