The quotation in the graphic is:
- Man is distinguished, not only by his reason, but by this singular passion from other animals, which is a lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of knowledge, exceeds the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.
Taken from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Hobbes" class="extiw" title="en:Thomas Hobbes">en:Thomas Hobbes</a>'s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_(book)" class="extiw" title="en:Leviathan (book)">Leviathan</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.orst.edu/instruct/phl302/texts/hobbes/leviathan-a.html#CHAPTER%20VI">Part I, Chapter VI</a>:
- Desire to know why, and how, curiosity; such as is in no living creature but man: so that man is distinguished, not only by his reason, but also by this singular passion from other animals; in whom the appetite of food, and other pleasures of sense, by predominance, take away the care of knowing causes; which is a lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of knowledge, exceedeth the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.
