Editing Lorem ipsum (section)

The ''Lorem ipsum'' text is derived from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of [[Cicero]]'s {{lang|la|De finibus bonorum et malorum}}.<ref name="Microsoft">{{cite web |url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/114222/en-us |title=Description of the "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" text that appears in Word Help |access-date=2007-03-22 |website=support.microsoft.com}}</ref><ref name="cicero_archive_org">{{cite book|last1=Cicero|first1=Marcus Tullius|last2=Rackham|first2=H.|title=De finibus bonorum et malorum|date=1914|publisher=Macmillan Co.|location=New York|page=[https://archive.org/details/definibusbonoru02cicegoog/page/n72 36] (Book I ix 32)|url=https://archive.org/details/definibusbonoru02cicegoog|language=la, en}}</ref> The physical source may have been the 1914 [[Loeb Classical Library]] edition of {{lang|la|De finibus}}, where the Latin text, presented on the left-hand (even) pages, breaks off on page 34 with "{{lang|la|Neque porro quisquam est qui do-}}" and continues on page 36 with "{{lang|la|lorem ipsum{{nbsp}}...}}," suggesting that the [[galley proof|galley type]] of that page was mixed up to make the dummy text seen today.<ref name=Cibois>{{cite web |title=Lorem ipsum: nouvel état de la question |first=Philippe |last=Cibois |url=https://idm.hypotheses.org/2354 |work=L'intelligence du monde |publisher=[[Institut français|L'Institut français]] |date=2012-06-03 |access-date=2017-04-07}}</ref>

The discovery of the text's origin is attributed to Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar at [[Hampden–Sydney College]]. McClintock connected ''Lorem ipsum'' to Cicero's writing sometime before 1982 while searching for instances of the Latin word {{lang|la|[[wikt:consectetur|consectetur]]}}, which was rarely used in classical literature.<ref name="SDop">{{cite web|last=Adams|first=Cecil|title=What does the filler text 'lorem ipsum' mean?|date=February 2001|url=https://www.straightdope.com/21343427/what-does-the-filler-text-lorem-ipsum-mean|publisher=The Straight Dope|access-date=3 June 2022}}</ref> McClintock first published his discovery in a 1994 letter to a ''Before & After'' magazine editor,<ref>''Before & After'' '''4''':2, according to {{cite web |author=Norman Walsh |title=Frequently Asked Questions About Fonts |url=https://nwalsh.com/comp.fonts/FAQ/cf_36.htm |access-date=2023-05-12}}</ref> contesting the editor's earlier claim that ''Lorem ipsum'' had no meaning.<ref name="SDop" />

{{quote|[32] But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of reprobating pleasure and extolling pain arose. To do so, I will give you a complete account of the system and expound the teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter extremely painful consequences. Nor again is there anyone who <u>loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but</u> occasionally <u>circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great</u> pleasure. <u>To take a trivial example, which of us ever</u> undertakes <u>laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage? But who</u> has any right to <u>find fault</u> with a man who <u>chooses to enjoy a pleasure</u> that has no annoying consequences, or <u>one</u> who <u>avoids a pain</u> that <u>produces no</u> resultant pleasure?<br /><br />

[33] On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so <u>blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee</u> the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal <u>blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil</u> and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and nothing prevents us from being what we like best, every pleasure is welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures must be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man, therefore, always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.}}
