“Psychiatrists are very effective. Before, I used to pee in my bed and was very ashamed of it. After seeing a psychiatrist I got better. Now, I pee in my bed but I am proud of it.”

Coluche (1944–1986) French comedian and actor

Les psychiatres sont très efficaces. Avant, je pissais au lit et j'avais honte. J'ai été voir un psychiatre et ça va mieux. Maintenant, je pisse au lit mais je suis fier.
[Coluche, Médecins sans diplômes, Coluche : l’intégrale, 6, Sony Music, 1996]

“After a year of therapy, my psychiatrist said to me, "Maybe life isn't for everyone.”
