So I’m ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit with his face.
Meaning of the quote
Yogi Berra, a famous American athlete, is saying that it doesn't matter if someone thinks you're ugly. What matters is that you can still use your abilities to succeed, just like in sports, where you don't win games with your face. Berra is reminding us that we shouldn't let other people's opinions about our appearance hold us back from achieving our goals.
