Niccolò Machiavelli
“it is much safer to be feared than loved because ...love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails.”
Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

Niccolò Machiavelli
“Therefore, it is necessary to be a fox to discover the snares and a lion to terrify the wolves”
Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

Margaret Atwood
“A man is just a woman's strategy for making other women. Not that your father wasn't a nice guy and all, but... there's something missing in them, even the nice ones. It's like they're permanently absent-minded, like they can't quite remember who they are. They look at the sky too much. They lose touch with their feet. They aren't a patch on a woman except they're better at fixing cars and playing football, just what we need for the improvement of the human race, right?”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
