Apollonia = always relevant. The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972).
«Il primo amore non si scorda mia.»
You never forget your first love.
Not ever. That thunderbolt is a killer.

Berlin, Germany
The quote comes from “Proverbs of Hell,” a chapter in William Blake’s gnostic text The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. The book has been interpreted as an anticipation of Freudian and Jungian models of the mind, illustrating a struggle between a repressive superego and an amoral id. It has also been interpreted as an anticipation of Nietzsche’s theories* about the difference between slave morality and master morality.

*cf: in particular Nietzsche’s camel – lion – child model of human thought and behavior as outlined in Also sprach Zarathustra: Ein Buch für Alle und Keinen / Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None (1883-1885).

One of the “Proverbs of Hell,” from The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
“Prisons are built with stones of law, brothels with bricks of religion.”
I think the door does protest too much. Like, I didn’t even ask, dude.
