Summary

This quote, often attributed to comedian Groucho Marx, suggests a humorous and ironic realization. It implies that if an organization or group readily accepts someone, especially someone with low standards or lacking in qualities necessary for membership, it raises doubts about the value or integrity of that organization. Essentially, the quote highlights the self-deprecating nature of not wanting to associate with something that approves of individuals like oneself. It brings attention to the paradox of simultaneously desiring recognition and questioning the institutions that offer it.
