quotations about Adam & Eve
In the end, Eve decided to share with Adam--she could not bear the thought that she might after all die and that Adam would then wed "another Eve." And Adam? Adam, in Milton's conception, was not deceived. He understood at once that Eve had made a catastrophic mistake, but he immediately decided to share her fate. "How can I live without thee?"

Adam and Eve
It's the oldest game in town
Just a one way street
To a faded magazine
Kiss and tell
Money talks it never lies
Kiss and tell
Give and take eye for an eye

Our grandsire Adam, ere of Eve possess'd,
Alone, and ev'n in Paradise unbless'd,
With mournful looks the blissful scene survey'd,
And wander'd in the solitary shade.
The Maker saw, took pity, and bestow'd
Woman, the last, the best reserv'd of God.

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.

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

Of Adam's first wife, Lilith, it is told
(The witch he loved before the gift of Eve)
That, ere the snake's, her sweet tongue could deceive
And her enchanted hair was the first gold.
And still she sits, young while the earth is old,
And, subtly of herself contemplative,
Draws men to watch the bright web she can weave,
Till heart and body and life are in its hold.

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!

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.

It began I believe when Adam found Eve he woke up and made her his wife
On that very first day she asked in dismay am I the first girl in your life
Wives don't like old girlfriends you know that's a fact of life
Wives don't like old girlfriends and girlfriends don't like old wives

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

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.

Without the Christian explanation of original sin, the seemingly silly story of Adam and Eve and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, there was no explanation of conflict. At all.
