The same thing occurs in
other cases when a man tries to do two things at once; the pleasanter activity drives out
the other, the more so if it is much more pleasant, until the other activity ceases
altogether. Hence, when we enjoy something very much, we can hardly do anything else; and
when we find a thing only mildly agreeable, we turn to some other occupation; for
instance, people who eat sweets at the theater do so especially when the acting is bad.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
