To be laughed at, to be ridiculed is an affirmation. It's proof that the world's out to get us and it validates our nihilism.
To be feared is to be a god, if only for five minutes at a time. In being feared we weild the ultimate, most delicious weapon of control.
To be distrusted is human, and is a challenge. It's to be accepted, to be enjoyed, and to be attacked with the most vicious rebuttal.

OK then, some more Yogi Berra quotes.
"[Baseball] is 90% mental. The other half is physical."
When asked that time it is: "What, you mean now?"
When told the bus was lost: "Yeah, but we're making great time."
When asked if he wanted his pizza cut into 6 or 8 pieces: "Better make it 6. I don't think I could eat 8."
But as he likes to explain to people: "I didn't really say everything I said."
