It is a Latin text, surely drawn from Marcus Tullius Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum ("On the Ends of The Good and the Bad", which deals with Epicureanism, Stoicism and Platonism, and in section 1. 10 . 32 states: 'Neque porro quisquam est , qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet , onsectetur , adipisci velit , sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem .' ("Nor is there anyone who loves, pursues and wants to achieve the pain itself because it is pain, but because sometimes circumstances occur in such a way, that with effort and pain some great pleasure can be obtained.") . See lorem ipsum .
