Quote by Brendan F. Behan

All publicity is good, except an obituary notice.

All publicity is good, except an obituary notice.

Summary

This quote suggests that publicity, or public attention, is generally beneficial in any context, except when it comes in the form of an obituary notice. In other words, the quote implies that any kind of publicity, even if it involves criticism or controversy, can still be valuable for promoting awareness and visibility. However, an obituary notice, which announces the death of a person, is the only form of publicity that is not beneficial at all, as it inherently implies the end of a person's life and their absence from the world.
