[6]
Similarly the young are in a condition
resembling intoxication, because they are growing, and youth is pleasant in itself; but
persons of an excitable nature need a restorative perpetually, because their temperament
keeps their bodies in a constant state of irritation, and their appetites are continually
active; and any pleasure, if strong, drives out pain, not only the opposite pleasure. This
is why excitable men become profligate and vicious.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
