But I have to say this in defense of humankind: In no matter what era in history, including the Garden of Eden, everybody just got here. And, except for the Garden of Eden, there were already all these games going on that could make you act crazy, even if you weren't crazy to begin with. Some of the crazymaking games going on today are love and hate, liberalism and conservatism, automobiles and credit cards, golf, and girls' basketball.

Kurt Vonnegut

It is a strange thing that many truly spiritual men, such as General Gordon, have actually spent some hours in speculating upon the precise location of the Garden of Eden. Most probably we are in Eden still. It is only our eyes that have changed.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

I've learned a lot about women. I think I've learned exactly how the fall of man occured in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, and Adam said one day, Wow, Eve, here we are, at one with nature, at one with God, we'll never age, we'll never die, and all our dreams come true the instant that we have them. And Eve said, Yeah... it's just not enough is it?

Bill Hicks

The Garden of Eden presents the same story: If you want to make yourself gods, you'll find you're akin to the animals.

Frank Moore Cross

We must cultivate our own garden. When man was put in the garden of Eden he was put there so that he should work, which proves that man was not born to rest.

Voltaire

I also know that we must cultivate our garden. For when man was put in the Garden of Eden, he was put there ut operaretur eum, to work; which proves that man was not born for rest.

Voltaire

It is possible for science to make the world like the Garden of Eden! Amen. But it is also possible, and sometimes it seems more probable, that science will make the world a very good imitation of hell.

Maude Royden

Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps.

Amos Bronson Alcott

Temptation has been here ever since the Garden of Eden.

Jerry Falwell

Prohibition didn't work in the Garden of Eden. Adam ate the apple.

Vicente Fox

It was not the apple on the tree but the pair on the ground that caused the trouble in the garden of Eden.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

A soul is a troublesome possession, and when man developed it he lost the Garden of Eden.

W. Somerset Maugham

After all, he put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden naked as jaybirds!

Bettie Page

It gets to seem as if way back in the Garden of Eden after the fall, Adam and Eve had begged the Lord to forgive them and He, in his boundless exasperation, had said, "All right, then. Stay. Stay in the Garden. Get civilized. Procreate. Muck it up." And they did.
