In the state of nature there is no property, no justice or injustice, only war. And such a war as is of every man against every man. Force and fraud in war are the two cardinal virtues. Men are forced to co-operate by reasons of pure selfishness. Law and morality are no more than organized violence. The dominant urge of man is self-preservation, manifested primarily as fear, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. | |
