"Pas d'arts, pas de lettres, pas de société et ce qui est pire que tout, une peur constante et le danger d'une mort violente et la vie de l'homme, solitaire, pauvre, méchante, brutale et courte."
— Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:
When people don't have art, books, or community, they live in fear and danger all the time. This kind of life is very lonely, hard, and miserable. Imagine living in a place with no music, no communication with others, and constant threats around you; it wouldn't be a happy life. For example, in history, people who lived in times of war or chaos, where there were no stable communities, often faced these harsh conditions. To avoid such a life, it's important to build a society with culture, education, and social connections. By doing so, individuals can lead safer, more fulfilling lives.
