Philosophy Quote by Thomas Hobbes — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Life is nasty, brutish, and short”

“Hell is truth seen too late.”

“Curiosity is the lust of the mind.”

“You're hungry, you see food, and you get excited. You never question where did the hunger come from. You didn't sign up for this endless cycle of hunger and food, problem and solution, question and answer. You're the eternity.”

“Madness is something rare in individuals — but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages, it is the rule.”

“It's easy to hate and point out everything that is wrong with the world; it is the hardest and most important work in one's life to free oneself from the bonds of fear and attachment.”

“To be pleasant, gentle, calm and self-possessed: this is the basis of good taste and charm in a woman. No matter how amorous or passionate you may be, as long as you are straightforward and refrain from causing others embarrassment, no one will mind. But women who are too vain and act pretentiously, to the extent that they make others feel uncomfortable, will themselves become the object of attention; and once that happens, people will find fault with whatever they say or do; whether it be how they enter a room, how they sit down, how they stand up or how they take their leave. Those who end up contradicting themselves and those who disparage their companions are also carefully watched and listened to all the more. As long as you are free from such faults, people will surely refrain from listening to tittle-tattle and will want to show you sympathy, if only for the sake of politeness.”
