“A tigress robb'd of young, a lioness, Or any interesting beast of prey, Are similes at hand for the distress Of ladies who cannot have their own way”
Lord Byron
“I am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and one that is broken, sad as a woman who is growing old.”
Jean Rhys
“Although I may not be a lioness, I am a lion's cub, and inherit many of his qualities; and as long as the King of France treats me gently he will find me as gentle and tractable as he can desire; but if he be rough, I shall take the trouble to be just as troublesome and offensive to him as I can.”
Elizabeth I
“The teeth of a tigress holding its cub tenderly are the same that ferociously devour its prey .”
Dr. Anirudh Kapoor
“It sounds unbelievable that a young tigress would die on account of mating a relatively bigger male.”
Suresh Singh
“Vicious as a tigress can be, she never eats her own cubs”
Chinese Proverbs
“In argument similes are like songs in love; they describe much, but prove nothing.”
Franz Kafka
