But as a matter of fact in
the human species at all events there is a great diversity of pleasures. The same things
delight some men and annoy others, and things painful and disgusting to some are pleasant
and attractive to others. This also holds good of things sweet to the taste: the same
things do not taste sweet to a man in a fever as to one in good health; nor does the same
temperature feel warm to an invalid and to a person of robust constitution. The same holds
good of other things as well.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
