"I was surprised his nose was not growing like Pinocchio's." This refers to the story of Pinocchio, where his nose grew whenever he told a lie. It is from The Adventures of Pinocchio, written by Carlo Collodi.

This place is like a Garden of Eden." - This is a biblical allusion to the "garden of God" in the Book of Genesis.
