: LOOKING FOR EXACT QUOTE BY HOBBE'S ABOUT LIFE BEING BRUTAL AND HARSH AND SHORT - ANYBODY KNOW?

Hi. The quote you are looking for is from Hobbes's Leviathan. It is in Part. I Of Man, Ch. 13 Of the Natural Condition of Mankind. Paragraph 9.

[9]Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to every man, the same consequent to the time wherein man live without other security then what their own strength and their own invention shall furnish them withal.
In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain, and consequently, no culture of the earth, no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea, no commodious building, no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force, no knowledge of the face of the earth, no account of time, no arts, no letters, no society, and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death, and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

Well, there you go, the entire 9th paragraph for you.
