Mehmet Murat IldanYou see only the cat’s paw, Signor Tartini, whereas I see the sharp claws hidden in that paw!. . Women are like fire; they warm you from afar, and when you enter into them they burn you to ashes!
About This Quote
This quote is attributed to Niccolò Machiavelli who said it while reflecting on the duplicity of women in his book The Prince. Women are often referred to as the “cat’s paw” because they seem to act for their own benefit, yet they ultimately serve their man. The quote seems harsh, but the intent is to remind men that women are not to be trusted.
