The three sexes are men, women, and professors.

The three sexes are men, women, and professors.

Summary

This quote is a humorous take on the idea of classifying genders. It suggests that in addition to the traditional male and female sexes, a third category could be added, humorously referred to as "professors." This could be interpreted as a play on the stereotype of professors being an entirely different and distinct gender due to their often eccentric and academic nature. Overall, the quote aims to highlight the arbitrary nature of categorizing people into distinct groups, poking fun at the tendency to overclassify and oversimplify complex identities.

What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colorless. By its curiosity Sin increases the experience of the race. Through its intensified assertion of individualism it saves us from monotony of type. In its rejection of the current notions about morality, it is one with the higher ethics.
