A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.

Summary

This quote suggests that a young and energetic child possesses an unwavering belief in their own willpower. They are not initially driven to challenge or oppose others, but rather, they simply do not acknowledge the existence of other wills. Similar to an artist, they embark on their tasks or endeavors with a sense of independence and purpose, free from any constraints or distractions.
