However, we must not regard pleasure as really being a thought or a
sensation—indeed this is absurd, though because they are inseparable they seem
to some people to be the same.
As then activities are diverse, so also are their pleasures. Sight excels touch in purity,
and hearing and smell excel taste; and similarly the pleasures of the intellect excel in
purity the pleasures of sensation, while the pleasures of either class differ among
themselves in purity.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
