" The individual to whom one ascribes “a strong personality” merely presents a particular mixture of natural elements, with certain prominent traits. Despite these salient traits, such a person ultimately creates only the impression of déjà vu. A saint is striking because of a countenance unique in the world, because of a light that is always ultimately personal. He or she has never been seen before. "
