- Antonio Porchia

About this Quote

This quote by Antonio Porchia speaks to the concept that in order to truly understand something, one need to first experience its opposite. The phrase "everything empty itself" suggests a state of vacuum or nothingness, which can be translated as an absence of understanding or understanding. However, the 2nd part of the quote, "understanding what whatever is filled with," indicates that by seeing this vacuum, one gains a much deeper understanding of what fills it. This could refer to acquiring insight into the real nature of things, or possibly even discovering meaning in the relatively meaningless. In essence, the quote suggests that emptiness can lead to a greater understanding and appreciation of what fills it.
