Irony is a disciplinarian ordsprog

en Irony is a disciplinarian feared only by those who do not know it, but cherished by those who do
  Søren Aabye Kierkegaard

en Irony is a disciplinarian feared only by those who do not know it, but cherished by those who do. He who does not understand irony and has no ear for its whispering lacks of what might called the absolute beginning of the personal life. He lacks what at moments is indispensable for the personal life, lacks both the regeneration and rejuvenation, the cleaning baptism of irony that redeems the soul from having its life in finitude though living boldly and energetically in finitude.
  Soren Kierkegaard

en And here comes in the question whether it is better to be loved rather than feared, or feared rather than loved. It might perhaps be answered that we should wish to be both; but since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved....I sum up by saying that since his being loved depends upon his subjects, while his being feared depends upon himself, [one] should build on what is his own, and not on what rests with others.
  Niccolo Machiavelli

en There are lots of people who are frustrated and want, for one reason or another, to assert their individuality or power or authority, but the only way they can do that is to violate other people's rights by spray-painting on someone's property. In that sense, it's interesting. It's just too bad it's illegal. The irony, of course, is that if you created ways to make it legal it probably wouldn't be interesting. That's the edge, the irony.
