Our personal "Gardens of Eden" contain two forbidden fruits, and not just one, and either will destroy the good we deserve -- The first forbidden fruit is indifference to what we have and the second is attachment to what we have lost. -- Laura Teresa Marquez, from Early Morning Conversations.

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. ~Diane Arbus

“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
