About This Quote

An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger. This quote is a joke that expresses the idea that only those who are intellectual (very smart) people can find great things worth listening to. It's a way of saying that only those who are very smart and educated think highly of something like the William Tell Overture, which was written in 1829.
