the most pleasant part of life

"Kyoto I thoroughly enjoyed, staying in a Japanese inn, old-style, sleeping on a straw mat and lying on the floors half the day, admiring the little moss garden. Being on the floor was childhood again, and childhood is still the most pleasant part of life. A confession of adult failure."

~~ from Saul Bellow to Frances Gendlin, May 1972
