Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions.

We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him — not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything — to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.
— Mother Teresa
