Concerning practical matters, popularity is often acceptable. That everyone in my community happens to drive on the right side of the road indicates that I ought to do the same, lest I should put myself or others in danger.
It is with artistic and intellectual matters, however, that popularity so often fails. Popularity is light and superficial; it floats about like dandelion pollen in the wind. The depths of man's creativity and interest will not be satisfied by lightness and superficiality, but by weight and quality.
