This quote suggests that the existence of good and evil in the universe is contingent upon one's ability to resist those who steal people's freedom. If a person can be labeled as good while resisting these thieves of freedom, then good and evil have a place in the universe. However, if such resistance is deemed unworthy of being called good, it implies that the concepts of good and evil lack meaning or do not exist in the universe.
