Lorem Ipsum

"Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet,
consectetur, adipisci velit..."

"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have
it, simply because it is pain..."

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the
1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to
make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also
the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was
popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing
Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software
like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable

content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum
is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to
using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many
desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as
their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many
web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years,
sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the
like).

Where does it come from?

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has
roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000
years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College
in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from
a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical
literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from
sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The
Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise
on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of
Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section
1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced
below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus
Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original
form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H.
Rackham.

Where can I get some?

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the
majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or
randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going
to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything
embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators
on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this
the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin
words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate
Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is
therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic
words etc.

The standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim
veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea
commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit
esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat
non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."

Section 1.10.32 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by

Cicero in 45 BC

"Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium
doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo
inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo.
Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit,
sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi
nesciunt. Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet,
consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora
incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim
ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit
laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum
iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae
consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?"

1914 translation by H. Rackham

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure
and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the
system, and expound the actual 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 consequences that are
extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires
to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally
circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great
pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious
physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any
right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no
annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant
pleasure?"

Section 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by

Cicero in 45 BC

"At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis
praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas
molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in
culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et
harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore,
cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id quod
maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis
dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut
rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et
molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente
delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut
perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat."
1914 translation by H. Rackham

"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 blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble
that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their
duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking
from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish.
In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing
prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be
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 have to 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."
