[8]
But the pleasure perfects the activity, not as the fixed disposition does, by being
already present in the agent, but as a supervening perfection, like the bloom of health in
the young and vigorous.
So long therefore as both object thought of or perceived, and subject discerning or
judging, are such as they should be, there will be pleasure in the activity; since while both the
passive and the active parties to a relationship remain the same in themselves and
unaltered in their relation to one another, the same result is naturally produced.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
