Quote by Primo Levi

The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one's country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession.

The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that

Summary

This quote suggests that the relationship between a person and their profession is comparable to the connection they have with their country. It states that this bond is intricate, often marked by mixed emotions, and can only be truly comprehended when it is severed, either through the person leaving their country through exile or emigration, or through retiring from their trade or profession. In both cases, only upon separation do individuals gain a complete understanding of the depth and complexity of their attachment to their profession or country.
