“If human beings were endlessly reproducible repetitions of the same model, whose nature or essence of any other thing, action would be an unnecessary luxury and a capricious interference with general laws of behavior. Instead, we are all the same, that is, human, in such a way that nobody is ever the same as anyone else who ever lived, lives, or will live.”
