The Influence of Women

A woman's influence is very different from a man's. A man needs to conquer, to defeat his opponent. That's why his victory is superficial—he may make the other bow their head, but not their heart.

A woman is able to reach a man's innermost being in such a way that he won't even recognize her influence. He feels that the idea was his from the beginning.

There is still hope for men, because they can learn this method from women, to a certain extent. In fact, a woman's power of influence comes from her union with a man, just as a man's power of conquest comes from his union with a woman.
