ADAM AND EVE QUOTES III

quotations about Adam & Eve

Whilst Adam slept, Eve from his side arose:
Strange his first sleep should be his last repose.

UNKNOWN

The Consequence


Her rash hand in evil hour
Forth reaching to the fruit, she pluck'd, she eat:
Earth felt the wound, and Nature from her seat
Sighing through all her works gave signs of woe,
That all was lost.

JOHN MILTON

Paradise Lost


Adam and Eve had many advantages but the principal one was, that they escaped teething.

MARK TWAIN

Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar


The true unconscious is the well-head, the fountain of real motivity. The sex of which Adam and Eve became conscious derived from the very God who bade them be not conscious of it.

D.H. LAWRENCE

Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious


When Eve upon the first of Men
The apple press'd with specious cant,
Oh, what a thousand pities then
That Adam was not Adam-ant!

THOMAS HOOD

A Reflection


God did not "saw" Adam asunder, but split him in two, and made Eve out of one half.

S.C. MAIAN

The Book of Adam and Eve


Adam & Eve have been degraded, reduplicated forever, photocopies of photocopies, mistakes copied, magnified, augmented.

JOHNNY RICH

The Human Script


Ever since Eve gave Adam the apple, there has been a misunderstanding between the sexes about gifts.

NAN ROBERTSON

New York Times, November 28, 1957


Do you realise that Eve was the only woman who ever took a man's side?

Adam, whiles he spake not, had paradise at will.

WILLIAM LANGLAND

Piers Plowman


We're simple and innocent again, like Adam and Eve. None of those complications about good and evil: Everything is very simple, childishly simple--Paradise!

YEVGENY ZAMYATIN

We


If we sink into the suffering that's right for us,
Our dreams will have all that Adam and Eve wept for.

ROBERT BLY

"Shabistari and The Secret Garden"


'Tis Lilith ... Adam's first wife is she.
Beware the lure within her lovely tresses.

JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

Faust


None of us can boast about the morality of our ancestors. The record does not show that Adam and Eve were ever married.

EDGAR WATSON HOWE

Family Stories and Myths


All the world was Adam once, with Eve by his side.

JEAN INGELOW

Like a Laverock in the Lift


Since antiquity, one story has stood at the center of every conversation about men and women. One couple has been the battleground for human relationships and sexual identity. That couple is Adam and Eve.

BRUCE FEILER

The First Love Story: A Journey Through the Tangled Lives of Adam and Eve


God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

BIBLE

Genesis 1:27


Hold me
To calm my jealousy
Hold me
Forget your history
I need you to show me
We'll be like Adam and Eve
that you love me
I wish you had never loved anyone but me

CARLY SIMON

"Anyone But Me"


Adam shot the apple into his vein
Adam said to Eve "Me Tarzan, you Jane"

TIMBUK 3

"Tarzan Was a Bluesman"


It all began with Adam. He was the first man to tell a joke -- or a lie. How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said it before. Adam was not alone in the Garden of Eden, however, and does not deserve all the credit; much is due to Eve, the first woman, and Satan, the first consultant.
