Guido Morselli (1912–1973) spent his youth in Milan, where his father was an executive with a pharmaceutical company.

“La cultura dell'individuo è sempre sul farsi o non è.
L'uomo colto non è chi sa, ma chi apprende ... colto e non puramente erudito è l'uomo che sente il dovere di alimentare il proprio spirito assiduamente, quotidianamente, qualsiasi siano le circostanze in cui si trova a vivere”
― Guido Morselli
