πŸ“œ Historical Background

The text is derived 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. The original passage discusses the theory of ethics and was popularized in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets. It has been scrambled and altered over centuries to create the nonsensical yet realistic-looking text we use today in design and typesetting.
