"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member"

Groucho Marx's quote is a humorous method of revealing his contempt for conformity and the idea of being accepted into a group. He is suggesting that he would rather be a specific than comply with the requirements of a group. He is also suggesting that he is too great for any group that would accept him, suggesting that he is too special and unique to be a part of any group. This quote is a way of expressing his self-reliance and his refusal to be a part of something that he does not believe in. It is also a method of expressing his confidence in himself and his own abilities. By declining to join any club that would have him as a member, Groucho Marx is asserting his uniqueness and his refusal to conform to the standards of any group.
