Mark Twain...
Every human being carries with him from his cradle
to his grave, certain physical marks which do not
change their character, and by which he can always
be identifiedand that without shade of doubt or
question. These marks are his signature, his
physiological autograph, so to speak, and this
autograph cannot be counterfeited, nor can he
disguise it or hide it away, nor can it become illegible
by the wear and mutations of time.
