Question:Who does it orginally come from.and is it takin' from a larger contect?

Answers:
"For though a man in a fever should from sugar have a bitter taste, which at another time would produce a sweet one, yet the idea of bitter in that man's mind would be as clear and distinct from the idea of sweet as if he had tasted only gall."

An Essay Concerning Human Understanding by John Locke, pg. 92, first published in 1849.
