An intelligent person might not get a great deal out of an ordinary conversation, but an ordinary person will get precisely nothing out of an intelligent conversation.

Remember, however unfortunate it may be, that literature is now a 'hobby'. Expecting everyone to 'get it' is like anticipating that everyone you meet has knowledge of, and passion for, fencing, scuba diving, parachuting or stamp collecting.
