("And to say the greatness of the Holy One, blessed be He, is that a man imprints as many natures with their seal as one, and all are like one another, and the King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, imprinted every man with the seal of the first man, and not one of them is like his fellow, so that each one and every one is obliged to say, "In my way the world was created."" Sanhedrin (4)
