Quote by Lebo Grand

“You see, God was never interested in taking our power [sensual power] from us. If God actually took your sinful nature away, He would have to also take your sensual power away. Meaning you would be left boring and stale as dry bread. No pizazz, which is the quality of being exciting, attractive and enchanting. Listen, God is not interested and it’s never been in His divine plan to take away your allure, magnetism, charm, magic, seductiveness. Because that’s your vital life force. It’s religion (the law from which Christ has redeemed us) that has drained all of that juicefullness out of most people in the name of ‘redemption.”

“...the following parable may be useful. Long ago, when shepherds wanted to see if two herds of sheep were isomorphic, they would look for an explicit isomorphism. In other words, they would line up both herds and try to match each sheep in one herd with a sheep in the other. But one day, along came a shepherd who invented decategorification. She realized one could take each herd and ‘count’ it, setting up an isomorphism between it and some set of ‘numbers’, which were nonsense words like ‘one, two, three, . . . ’ specially designed for this purpose. By comparing the resulting numbers, she could show that two herds were isomorphic without explicitly establishing an isomorphism! In short, by decategorifying the category of finite sets, the set of natural numbers was invented. According to this parable, decategorification started out as a stroke of mathematical genius. Only later did it become a matter of dumb habit, which we are now struggling to overcome by means of categorification.”

“The American Naming Authority, a collective of women studying the effects of names on behavior, decrees that a name should only have one user. The nearly 1 million American users of the name Mary, for example, do not constitute a unified army who might slaughter all users of the name Nancy, as was earlier supposed, but rather a saturation of the Mary Potential Quotient. Simply stated: Too many women with the same name produces widespread mediocrity and fatigue.”
