（It is clear that each of the senses is accompanied by pleasure, since we apply
the term pleasant to sights and sounds1; and it is also
clear that the pleasure is greatest when the sensory faculty is both in the best condition
and acting in relation to the best object; and given excellence in the perceived object
and the percipient organ, there will always be pleasure when an object to cause it and a
subject to feel it are both present.）
1 As well as to tastes, scents, and contacts, which are more obviously pleasant.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
