A memoir from a psychiatrist after forty years of treating people in Genoa. I had so many quotes I loved.

This is terrific advice for any new teacher:

Giulia, don’t plant your words in dry land,
in the wrong season
or when the field is covered in crows.
Store your words away for when the land is humid,
the season opportune and the crows faraway.

This is advice for all those looking for someone or something to blame:

How nice it would be to have a culprit at hand for all my problems.
But if you are born a cat, is it by any chance the fault of your
parents who are cats?
Being a cat is a tragedy, like so many other facts of life.

Finally, this section on being at the hospital could easily be written by any teacher. Too long to type, photo of text:
