Adam Quotations

What a good thing Adam had. When he said a good thing he knew nobody had said it before.
Mark Twain

Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.
Mathew Henry

He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it.
Herman Melville

Ever since Eve started it all by offering Adam the apple, woman's punishment has been to supply a man with food then suffer the consequences when it disagrees with him.
Helen Rowland

In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on a woman.
Nancy Astor
