I think I got that from one of Bertrand Russell's books, probably "A History Of Western Philosophy" or "Wisdom Of The West". I could never get through Aristotle myself, his writing style is terrible, much more turgid than his teacher Plato, and the more I learned about him the less willing I was to go through the torture. He did some good stuff in logic and he was an OK biologist, but his physics was a joke and his contempt for experiment held back science for many years.
