Woman is weak — no, she is humble, she is much closer to God than man is. Hence it is that love is everything to her, and she will certainly not disdain the blessing and confirmation which God is ready to bestow upon her .... Man is proud, he would be everything, would have nothing above him.
— Soren Kierkegaard Modern

Father of existentialism
