If the world excludes you, go build your own. Build the one that suits your needs instead of waiting around and begging for scraps from people who have no interest in giving you any power.
“Great literary pieces are great because, among other things, they are in permanent polemics with their readers, some of whom are writers, and who are able to themselves express creatively their sense of this literary affair. Great literary pieces have that specific magical quality of provoking readers to rewrite them, to make a new literary project out of them.”
