About This Quote
In this quote, John Muir described the basic idea of the love between man and woman as he saw it as God's creation. He was not speaking of romantic love; rather, he was writing of the basic attraction of two people for one another. The thought is that, if a man and a woman were truly created by God, they would have a need for one another. They would have a need for each other to give them the sense of being alone.
