The apple cannot be stuck back on the Tree of Knowledge; once we begin to see, we are doomed and challenged to seek the strength to see more, not less.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The apple which tempts my characters is the one that will remove the knowledge of good and evil. I suppose it's something of a reversal of the conventional Eden story: Freedom of thought is perhaps the greatest good, and needs to be fought for and sacrificed for.
It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man.
Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.
I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.
Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.
The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.
Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.
