Adam Quote by Linda Robertson
““You're walking into the garden little girl with your belly just rumblin' for an apple." "My belief happen to be other than your own but I've always thought the Garden of Eden story would have been much better if Eve wasn't portrayed as such a mindless character manipulated by suggestion. I mean if she were a little bolder more resourceful and confident she and Adam might've had snake for dinner instead.””
