When Adam
found his rib was gone
He cursed and sighed and cried and swore
And looked with cold resentment on
The creature God has used it for. - John Hollander
You first parents of the human race...who ruined
yourself for an apple, what might you have done for a truffled
turkey? - Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
I sometimes think that if Adam and Eve had been
merely engaged, she would not have talked with the serpent, and
the world had been saved an infinity of misery. - H G Wells
The Angel ended, and in Adam's ear So charming
left his voice, that he awhile Thought him still speaking, still
stood fix'd to hear. - John Milton
Ever since Eve started it all by offering Adam
the apple, woman’s punishment has been to supply a man with food
then suffer the consequences when it disagrees with him. - Helen

Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him
sees That half a proper gardener’s work is done upon his knees, So
when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray For
the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away! And the Glory
of the Garden, it shall never pass away! - Rudyard Kipling
Adam and
Eve in the Bible
