Woman, by the very fact of her passivity, having more easily than man the intuition of the Supreme Power at work in the world, is more often, more naturally humble. But to base the fact of this humility on need is erroneous.

Woman needs man not more than man needs woman; or rather, more exactly, man and woman have an equal need of one another.
