This is very pedestrian and rough...

However, I think it's possible that someone like Diane de Poitiers had a bunch of different influencers all shoved into her at one time, so it's like, you can't just blame one person if you start to feel like that influence has touched you, as well. It's kind of like with Benjamin Franklin. He probably had a bunch of different influencers shoved into him all at one time, too. So, people who are like them, who don't become successful, might have ended up going into insane asylums or something. It's like, they have to be what they are, but they also have to have the circumstances that help them become what they are. They're not just a product of themselves, but also of the circumstances that they found themselves surrounded by.
