“Eve ate the apple
because Adam
was afraid”
― Laurie Halse Anderson, Shout

“Some called it Eve's curse but she thought that was stupid, and the real curse of Eve was having to put up with the nonsense of Adam, who as soon as there was any trouble, blamed it all on her.”
― Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace

“I learned that Lilith was made from the same dust as Adam, and not from his rib. I learned that Lilith was either banished or left the Garden because she refused to obey and it seemed likely to me that was why Eve was punished the way that she was, as if any form that was not Adam was set up from the beginning to fail.”
― Elle Nash, Animals Eat Each Other

“So spake our mother Eve, and Adam heard
Well pleased, but answered not; for now too nigh
Th' Archangel stood, and from the other hill
To their fixed station, all in bright array
The Cherubim descended; on the ground
Gliding meteorous, as ev'ning mist
Ris'n from a river o'er the marish glides,
And gathers ground fast at the labourer's heel
Homeward returning. High in front advanced,
The brandished sword of God before them blazed
Fierce as a comet; which with torrid heat,
And vapour as the Libyan air adust,
Began to parch that temperate clime; whereat
In either and the hast'ning angel caught
Our ling'ring parents, and to th' eastern gate
Led them direct, and down the cliff as fast
To the subjected plain; then disappeared.
They looking back, all th' eastern side beheld
Of Paradise, so late their happy seat,
Waved over by that flaming brand, the gate
With dreadful faces thronged and fiery arms:
Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon;
The world was all before them, where to choose
Their place of rest, and Providence their guide:
They hand in hand with wand'ring steps and slow,
Through Eden took their solitary way.”
― John Milton, Paradise Lost

“I feel deadly faint, bowed, and humped, as though I were Adam, staggering beneath the piled centuries since Paradise.”
― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

“I see your manners have not improved with time."
He crooked one side of his mouth into a grin. "Time was never a factor in my manners.”
― Jenny Elder Moke, Hood

“Who is the real God in the Garden of Eden? Is it the ignorant “Godâ€� who tries to keep humanity away from knowledge â€� who forbids Adam and Eve from accessing knowledge â€� or is it the Serpent who leads Adam and Eve to knowledge and transforms them through the gift of consciousness, and, finally, superconsciousness? The False God is always an enemy of knowledge, and the True God always a promoter of knowledge.”
― David Sinclair, The Church of the Serpent: The Philosophy of the Snake and Attaining Transcendent Knowledge

“Nothing, I knew, was as powerful as curiosity. I had always considered it more powerful than lust. After all, wasn't that why Adam bit into the apple? Because he was curious? Because he needed to know? For -research-.

[Ann Stilwell]”
― Katy Hays, The Cloisters

“Gansey, a furious sun, glowed from the other side of the universe, his gravitational pull too distant to affect Adam.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Dream Thieves

“Before Adam there were Heaven and Hell. Sin or no sin, the devil was destined to go in hell no matter how hard he tried to believe in God.”
― Mwanandeke Kindembo

“The world would be a different place if Adam was allergic to apples.”
― Marin Darmonkow

“Humans suffered the darkness of ignorance until the serpent introduced them to the light of reason and the bright illumination of knowledge and understanding. “Godâ€� sought to deny the transformative power of knowledge to humanity. The serpent, channeling the spirit of Prometheus, subverted God and gave humanity what it needed to liberate itself. Knowledge is power. Those without knowledge are powerless. God forbade Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge because he never wanted them to be free. They were to be his slaves forever, ignorant of what existence is and how it functions.”
― David Sinclair, The Church of the Serpent: The Philosophy of the Snake and Attaining Transcendent Knowledge

“Belle," he whispered, almost a croak.
"You promised to give me my bookstore back," she said, trying not to cry. "You promised me. So I could read more stories about Jack. So I could read them... to you..."
The Beast's mouth opened strangely, his pointy teeth suddenly seeming too large and out of place inside of lips trying to form words it couldn't remember.
Then he suddenly shook himself- like a spooked cat or dog.
He looked down at Belle, his eyes now bright with intelligence.
"I did promise," he said, his voice growing stronger and more human. "And... a king keeps his promises.”
― Liz Braswell, As Old as Time

“Dünyada sana hiçbir ÅŸey öğretemeyecek bir yol bir adam ya da bir kitap yoktur! Mesele ÅŸu ki, sana ne öğretecekler?”

“Drop jewels from the top of these clouds, a drop top John F. Kennedy head shot. It's secrecy hidden in sight of these bars in hip-hop. A compass and square ruler, the pencil is the fueler, 33 degrees below and my mind is fire that keeps me cooler. It's a building of mind, a freezing of time, reverse history back to the garden, the story of the first Atom to be divine.”
― Jose R. Coronado, The Land Flowing With Milk And Honey

“He had only just been making out with Ronan, and his hands would have nonetheless murdered him while Adam watched.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven King

“Most people today claim that they would have taken a different action from that of our ancient parents who paid heed to an indecent serpent that didn’t keep silent. The incident was no accident because the ‘studentsâ€� desired being presidents of a rival government. Will they be innocent with such an insolent greed before their benevolent benefactor? Their comment at the moment of reckoning was evident that they did not repent â€� they too had become serpents in His bosom.”
― Vincent Okay Nwachukwu, Weighty 'n' Worthy African Proverbs - Volume 1

“Adam betrayed God. Pierre betrayed the god man. (Adam a trahi Dieu. Pierre a trahi l'homme dieu)”
― Charles de Leusse

“Ja zovem mnoge. Ja zovem stalno. Ali ne odgovore svi. Ja sam te zvao, ali tvoja je odluka bila da mi priÄ‘eÅ¡. Ja sam veliki pobornik slobodne volje. <...> Živi i pusti druge da žive, to je moj moto. Samo... ljudima se ne sviÄ‘a uvijek ideja da puste takve poput mene da žive.”
― Viktoria Faust, Jackie - Intermezzo 4

“God made Eve out of Adam
Capitalism made ken out of barbie”
― G. P. Moci, Isabella

“I am back,â€� he said, straightening up, pulling the keys out of his pocket. “This is all that's left.”
― Mia Garcia, Even if the Sky Falls

“You’re a perfect example of God’s idea of what he wanted eve to be to Adam.”
― Suraj Sani

“. Adam never actually got his authority over the animals through naming them! Verse 1:26 of Genesis states, “Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings* in our image, to be like ourselves. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on Earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.â€�

As shown with the verse above, naming, which includes the naming of the animals and later on the naming of Eve, was not what gave Adam his authority over the animals. God alone gave human beings the authority to “reign overâ€� the animals. Naming did nothing. This exemplifies that naming, indeed, had a negligible impact on a being’s level of authority. God was the only being who created the dichotomy between animals and humanity, in which the former, through God, not through naming, is of a comparatively lower status than the latter”
― Lucy Carter, Feminism and Biblical Hermeneutics

“I'm going to release you now," the boy said slowly, carefully, as if speaking to a small child or a wild animal. "You're not going to scream, you're not going to make any sudden movements, and if you bite me again, I'll bite you back. Understand?”
― Jenny Elder Moke, Hood

“In the opening pages of Genesis, we see that our
Trinitarian God made everything “good.� The only thing that is not called “good� is
that our first father, Adam, was alone. He had creation below him, and God above him,
but no one alongside of him to walk as an equal.”
― Mark Driscoll, Porn Again Christian

“Modern Adam doesn't always need Eve in Paradise.”
― Tamerlan Kuzgov

“A DAM

Çok kibar adamdı
Rahatsızlık olmasın diye pazar doğdu
Bir cuma çıkışı cemaat mezara koydu
Çok sağlam adamdı
Yürürken derin ayak izleri bıraktı
İnsanlar kör kuyu sanıp hepsini kapattı
Çok saf adamdı
Doğurmadan kendini ilk sandı
Aslının °ì²¹»åı²Ô olduÄŸunun farkına varmadı
Çok meşgul adamdı
Bugüne ayıracak zamanı yoktu
Gelecekte ve geçmişte yaşıyordu
Velhasıl akıllı adamdı
Bir gün kendini yakalamak için tuzak kurdu
Yakaladığını serbest bırakarak hayat buldu”
― Tarık Alptekin, Âlem Olan Kelimeler
