To borrow from Babbage, I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

So you can infer, that if you are at a time when you are stopping being so young, and you are not "truly something" yet, that maybe you'll never be. On the other hand, you read about people like Napoleon and it just baffles you... could anybody tell these people were going to be something so big, when they were young? Seems not. How did they hide it so well? This is probably a very silly comment, I know, but I would like to know what people that have thought about this more than me have to say on this subject. (I'm not the OP)
