After all these years I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her.

Adam and Eve had many advantages but the principal one was, that they escaped teething

Adam was the author of sin, and I wish he had taken out an international copyright on it.

I followed the other Experiment around, yesterday afternoon, at a distance, to see what it might be for, if I could. But I was not able to make [it] out. I think it is a man. I had never seen a man, but it looked like one, and I feel sure that that is what it is. I realize that I feel more curiosity about it than about any of the other reptiles. If it is a reptile, and I suppose it is; for it has frowzy hair and blue eyes, and looks like a reptile. It has no hips; it tapers like a carrot; when it stands, it spreads itself apart like a derrick; so I think it is a reptile, though it may be architecture.

I could have made a neat retort but didn't, for I was flurried and didn't think of it till I was downstairs

Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet.
