Adam

"Die einzigen unentbehrlichen Menschen der Geschichte waren Adam und Eva."

"Eine Weltkatastrophe kann zu manchem dienen. Auch dazu, ein Alibi zu finden vor Gott. Wo warst du, Adam? »Ich war im Weltkrieg.«"

"Man muss doch sehen, dass Gottes Rolle seit Äonen schrumpft. Anfangs wurde er noch für Adam und Eva gebraucht, dann hieß es, er habe die Evolution ins Rollen gebracht. Die Erkenntnisse der Kosmologie zeigen uns jedoch: Leben entwickelt sich überall dort, wo es kann. Gott kann keine neuen Arten erschaffen, er vollbringt keine Wunder, er passt auf keine Stellenausschreibung."

"Adam und Eva haben's Lieben erdacht, ich und mein Schätzle haben's auch so gemacht."

""Adam war ein Mensch"

"Der Sündenfall – Weißt du den Grund, warum in den Apfel gebissen hat Adam? / Um der Theologie einen Gefallen zu tun."

"Töricht ist die Scham, die dir ein Reinfall verursacht, da man unmöglich ein guter Spekulant mit Schamgefühl sein kann. Adam schämte sich nach dem Sündenfall, aber an der Börse gibt es viele, die ihre Sünden nicht begreifen, da sie sich nicht schämen und das Erröten verlernt haben."

"Und Er lehrte Adam alle Namen."

"Wir sprachen: „O Adam, weile du und dein Weib in dem Garten."

"Allah erwählte Adam und Noah und das Haus Abrahams und das Haus Imrâns."

"Wahrlich, Jesus ist vor Allah wie Adam."

"O Adam, weile du und dein Weib in dem Garten und esset […]"

"[Wir sprachen zu den Engeln:] „Bezeuget Adam Ehrerbietung“"

"Wahrlich, Wir schlossen einen Bund mit Adam zuvor."

"While God created Adam, who was alone, He said, 'It is not good for man to be alone. He also created a woman, from the earth, as He had created Adam himself, and called her Lilith. Adam and Lilith immediately began to fight. She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one.' Lilith responded, 'We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the earth.' But they would not listen to one another. When Lilith saw this, she pronounced the Ineffable Name and flew away into the air."

"This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

"And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."

"Lord of the world, must I and my ass eat at one crib?"

"Adam lay ibounden, Bounden in a bond; Four thousand winter Thoght he not too long; And all was for an appil, An appil that he tok."

"Only the soul that is naked and unashamed, can be pure and innocent, even as Adam was in the primal garden of humanity."

"In the time of the First Manifestation the Primal Will appeared in Adam."

"I have not the strength, to provide food for the herd of Adam's descendants."

"Adam Had 'em."

"And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange."

"That man, the unsubmissive and first, stands in the opening chapter of every legend mankind has recorded about its beginning. Prometheus was chained to a rock and torn by vultures — because he had stolen the fire of the gods. Adam was condemned to suffer — because he had eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Whatever the legend, somewhere in the shadows of its memory mankind knew that its glory began with one and that that one paid for his courage."

"When Adam sinned it was not he who cried, 'God, where art Thou?' It was God who cried, 'Adam, where art thou?'"

"It is not permitted to think about Adam in another way than do the Jews. I will be quiet and I will not think."
