because we do not get the object we desire, we only are because we think to have a right to it.'
This should be Seneca, but I've only got the quote in Dutch (this is a rough translation of the Dutch) and as I'm making a translation with the quote in it, I would prefer a kind of 'official' translation. I thought this place was my best bet as opposed to translators' forums where most of them don't realise the importance of a good translation. :)
Anyone?
