“ Let man give up his claim to be lord and master of Nature, let him yield his place to woman; she is its mistress, it understands her and she understands it, it is obedient to her beckoning. That is why she is everything for man, for she bestows finiteness upon him; without her he is an unstable spirit, an unhappy being who cannot find rest and has no place to go. ”
 Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or (1843). copy citation
