I read this on a web site and it made me think of Lady J.

“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” - Anais Nin

I like this one too.

“True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself.” - Henry Miller
