A Tale of Two Quotations
"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win." -- attributed to Gandhi.
"They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown. -- Carl Sagan
When people are laughing at you, maybe it's not because they just don't "get you" -- perhaps they get you more than you realize.
