b'Gan Eden, lilmod Torah; b'Gehenom, lilmod dikduk

(in paradise, you study the Torah; in hell, you study grammar)

I say this jokingly, because I actually do like the study of grammar - I think that Chomsky is actually right about this - that the grammar of one's language will tremendously affect one's thoughts. I don't know whether Chomsky ever read Korzybsky, but he should have.
