“Those natural desires which entail no pain when not gratified, though their objects are vehemently pursued, are also due to illusory opinion; and when they are not got rid of, it is not because of their own nature, but because of the person's illusory opinion.” (Epicurus, Principal Doctrine 30)
Translated by O'Connor (1993)
