Summary

This quote suggests that while the intellectual may possess unique qualities and thoughts, they are not always distinct from the ordinary person. The intellectual's uniqueness is only apparent in specific areas of their personality, implying that they may have distinctive perspectives, knowledge, or abilities. However, this does not imply that they are superior or distinct from the ordinary individual in every aspect. Ultimately, the quote emphasizes that being an intellectual is not a constant state but rather a characteristic that emerges selectively.
