“Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again.

In each individual the spirit has become flesh, in each man the creation suffers, within each one a redeemer is nailed to the cross.”
