"Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash"
- Louis Aragon
About this Quote
This quote by Louis Aragon talks to the concept that life is a balance of opposites. Light and darkness, fact and mistake, all of these things are necessary for life to be significant. Without one, the other would not exist. This idea of duality is what makes life so fascinating and interesting. It is the clash of these revers that provides life its taste and makes it so envigorating. We exist in the middle of this conflict, in between the black and white, and it is this stress that provides life its richness. Without this balance of opposites, life would be dull and uninspiring. It is this duality that makes life so lively and alive.

"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
