"The way you lot move is incredible." Ren drew me dorsum to press against him. His fingers slid downward to the curve of my hips, rocking our bodies in rhythm with the heavy bass.

"They, looking back, all the eastern side beheld
Of Paradise, so tardily their happy seat,
Waved over by that flaming make, the gate
With dreadful faces thronged and peppery artillery:
Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon;
The world was all before them, where to cull
Their place of rest, and Providence their guide;
They, paw in manus, with wandering steps and tedious,
Through Eden took their solitary mode."
― John Milton, Paradise Lost

We march in spite of Hell, nosotros do – Atrophy, Entropy, and Proteus vulgaris, telling earthy jokes nigh a farm daughter name of Eve and a traveling salesman chosen Lucifer. Nosotros bury your dead and their reputations. We bury yous. We are the centuries. Exist born then, gasp air current, screech at the surgeon'southward slap, seek manhood, taste a picayune godhood, feel hurting, give birth, struggle a piffling while, succumb: (Dying, go out quietly by the rear exit, delight.) Generation, regeneration, again, again, every bit in a ritual, with blood-stained vestments and smash-torn hands, children of Merlin, chasing a gleam. Children, besides, of Eve, forever edifice Edens – and kicking them apart in berserk fury because somehow it isn't the aforementioned. (AGH! AGH! AGH! – an idiot screams his mindless anguish amid the rubble. But rapidly! permit it be inundated past the choir, chanting Alleluias at 90 decibels.)"

"We all have that heritage, no affair what old state our fathers left. All colors and blends of Americans have somewhat the same tendencies. It's a breed - selected out by blow.

Tin it exist that our critics have not the key or the language of our culture?"

I believe in the brain of human."

"Yes, Eden was beautiful- and if I had to clasp through corporeal keyholes to crash it- and then exist it. (Hasn't it bothered you, this part of the story, my being there, I hateful? What was I doing there? 'Presume not the ways of God to browse,' y'all've been told in umpteen variations, 'the proper study of Mankind is Human being.' Mayhap so, but what, alibi me, was the Devil doing in Eden?) I took the forms of animals. I found I could. (That's generally my reason for doing something, past the way, considering I find I can.)"

"I'm feeling better now," Darrak said. She stifled a scream and clamped her easily over her bare breasts. "Don't sneak up on me like that!"

"Did I interrupt something?" There was a short suspension. "Oh, I see. Don't let me stop y'all from getting naked. Please, go along."

Eden scanned her reflection with broad eyes. Could she see the demon inside of her? Did she wait possessed?" Nope. There was nothing noticeable. Other than the deep voice in her head only she could hear.

"In agronomical communities, male leadership in the hunt ceased to be of much importance. As the discipline of the hunting band rust-covered, the political institutions of the primeval village settlements perhaps approximated the anarchism which has remained always since the ideal of peaceful peasantries all round the earth. Probably religious functionaries, mediators between helpless mankind and the uncertain fertility of the world, provided an important form of social leadership. The potent hunter and homo of prowess, his occupation gone or relegated to the margins of social life, lost the umambiguous primacy which had once been his; while the comparatively tight personal subordination to a leader necessary to the success of a hunting party could exist relaxed in proportion as grain fields became the centre around which life revolved.

Among predominantly pastoral peoples, however, religious-political institutions took a quite unlike plow. To protect the flocks from animal predators required the aforementioned courage and social bailiwick which hunters had always needed. Among pastoralists, as well, the main economic action- focused, every bit amongst the earliest hunters, on a parasitic relation to animals- connected to be the special preserve of menfolk. Hence a organisation of patrilineal families, united into kinship groups nether the dominance of a chieftain responsible for daily decisions as to where to seek pasture, best fitted the conditions of pastoral life. In improver, pastoralists were likely to accord importance to the practices and subject of war. Later on all, fierce seizure of someone else's animals or pasture grounds was the easiest and speediest mode to wealth and might be the only means of survival in a twelvemonth of scant vegetation.

Such warlikeness was entirely alien to communities tilling the soil. Archeological remains from early on Neolithic villages suggest remarkably peaceful societies. As long as cultivable land was plentiful, and as long as the labor of a single household could non produce a pregnant surplus, in that location tin have been little incentive to war. Traditions of violence and hunting-party organisation presumably withered in such societies, to be revived only when pastoral conquest superimposed upon peaceable villagers the elements of warlike organization from which civilized political institutions without exception descend."
― William H. McNeill

"Don't yous have any dress?"
"Quite honestly, no I don't."
"Cover yourself upwardly!"
"Fine." There was a rustling audio. "Okay I'm covered. I had no thought you were such a prude."
― Michelle Rowen, The Demon in Me

"I am trying now to exist entirely honest. I did actually comfort in the thought that the Devil had, on Strawless Common, defeated God. I much preferred that idea to the thought that God hadn't cared, hadn't helped Robin. I thought all the way back to the story of Eden. God, all-loving, all-wise, had surely wanted people to exist happy and salubrious and proficient; it was the Devil who spoiled it all...and since so many people were miserable and sickly and bad the Devil must indeed by very powerful. The lifeless, voiceless thing, lately a singing boy, which they had cut down and put under a sack in the barn to await an unhallowed cross-road grave seemed to me to prove the power of the Devil."

Lady Alice Rowhedge"

"As nosotros reread Genesis 2...we immediately understand WHAT is 'crafty' about the snake'due south question in Genesis iii. God did Not in fact say in Genesis 2, 'Yous MUST NOT EAT from any tree in the garden' (3:1). What God did say was about exactly the opposite: 'You ARE FREE TO EAT from any tree in the garden' (except the tree of the knowledge of adept and evil, two:sixteen). The vocabulary of God in Genesis 2 indicates freedom and approving. The vocabulary of the serpent in Genesis 3 indicates prohibition and restriction. The serpent'southward ploy is to suggest to the woman that God is really not so adept after all. He shifts attention away from all that God in his generosity has provided for his creatures in creation and onto the 1 thing that God has for the moment explicitly withheld."
― Iain Provan, Seriously Unsafe Religion: What the Old Attestation Actually Says and Why Information technology Matters

"It is idle to say at that place is no such garden. Everyone recognises the same nostalgia... Paradise is neither a moment nor a identify; it is a condition. So when the lover calls to his or her dear to come into the garden, it is, in the final implication, a summons to overcome to man condition."
― Richard Cavendish, The Tarot
