Woman is essentially unpeaceful, like the cat, however well she may have trained herself to present an appearance of peace.

The sexes deceive themselves about one another: the reason being that at bottom they honor and love only themselves (or their ownideal, to express it more agreeably).

Beware in the presence of cats: they never give, they do not even retaliate--they only reply, and purr in doing so.
