Eden

Famous quotes containing the word eden:

    The flame from the angel’s sword in the garden of Eden has been catalysed into the atom bomb; God’s thunderbolt became blunted, so man’s dunderbolt has become the steel star of destruction.
    Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food: the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden.
    Bible: Hebrew Genesis 2:9-10.

    Responsibility is what awaits outside the Eden of Creativity.
    Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
