OPERA
"Variability is the law of life," Sir William Osler.
"The human features and countenance, although composed of some ten parts
or a little more, are so fashioned that among so many thousands of men there
are no two in existence who cannot be distinguished from one another. Book 7,
Sect 8."
Pliny the Elder, AD 23-79.
