Eden

Famous quotes containing the word eden:

    For sometimes it is shown to me in dreams
    The Eden that all wish to recreate
    Out of their living, from their favourite times;
    The miraculous play where all their dead take part,
    Once more articulate....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The Marxist vision of man without God must eventually be seen as an empty and a false faith—the second oldest in the world—first proclaimed in the Garden of Eden with whispered words of temptation: “Ye shall be as gods.”
    Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    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.
