Quote of the Day (Brendan Behan, on the Irish and Cynicism)

“It's not that the Irish are cynical. It's rather that they have a wonderful lack of respect for everything and everybody.”—Irish man of letters Brendan Behan (1923-1964) quoted in Brendan Behan, Interviews and Recollections (1982), edited by E. H. Mikhail (1982)
