About this Quote

This quote by Eugenio Montale talks to the concept of dualism, which is the belief that two opposing forces exist in the world. In this case, Montale is referring to the forces of Good and Evil. He recommends that these 2 forces are the foundation of life, and that they remain in constant struggle with one another. Montale is most likely describing the teachings of Zoroaster, an ancient Persian prophet who thought in the concept of dualism. Montale's quote suggests that the battle between Good and Evil is an important part of life, and that it is something that we must accept and discover to cope with. This concept is still relevant today, as lots of people still believe that the forces of Good and Evil are at work in the world. Montale's quote acts as a tip that we should make every effort to do good and battle versus evil in order to produce a better world.
