More from Thomas Hobbes
"The privilege of absurdity; to which no living creature is subject, but man only."
"For every man by nature is supposed to be equal to every other man, and therefore, if there be no common power to keep them in awe, they will be in a state of war, of every man against every man."
"The end of obedience is protection."
"And from this war of every man against every man, this also is consequent; that nothing can be unjust. The notions of right and wrong, justice and injustice have there no place."
"As if it were not enough to have been once in a war, but must also be perpetually in a posture of war."
