Little minds are interested in the extraordinary great minds

Summary

This quote suggests that small-minded people are only fascinated by extraordinary things, while great thinkers find interest in the ordinary. It implies that those with limited perspectives are easily captivated by the unusual or extraordinary, as it stands out from their simplistic mindset. In contrast, great minds possess the ability to see value and intrigue in the everyday aspects of life, recognizing the hidden beauty and significance within the commonplace.
