I really never look at my health issues as 'Woe is me.' I've seen the reality of that. And it's not a pleasant thing.

It's a pleasant thing to be young, and have ten toes.

Teaching was the most pleasant thing I did.

It was a pleasant surprise. I like it.

A pleasant illusion is better than a harsh reality

Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
