Aristotle did not, in fact, say this. If I am being generous, I can say they were trying to summarize something far more dense.

“It is right that we ask [people] to accept each of the things which are said in the same way: for it is the mark of an educated person to search for the same kind of clarity in each topic to the extent that the nature of the matter accepts it. For it is similar to expect a mathematician to speak persuasively or for an orator to furnish clear proofs!

Each person judges well what they know and is thus a good critic of those things. For each thing in specific, someone must be educated [to be a critic]; to [be a critic in general] one must be educated about everything.”

--Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics

But that doesn't fit neatly in a post...

When you read a line so good, you just have to put the book down for a moment to appreciate it. (I never look this good while doing so.)

This reminds me of something that actually happened. I didn't grab her throat like that, but while working for her, I had to move her out of the way, and she got that same look on her face. It opened up something -- a door she didn't know she had. It got...interesting from there.
