Quote by Louis Aragon

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.

Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth

Summary

The mixture of opposites, such as light and dark, good and bad, creates depth and excitement in our lives. The quote suggests that our existence is defined by the constant interplay and tension between these contrasting forces. It implies that it is within the collision of black and white, the convergence of opposing extremes, that our lives truly become meaningful and intriguing.

There is a God,there always had been.I see Him here,in the eyes of the people in this corridor of desperation.This is the real house of God,this is where those who have lost the God will find Him.There is a God,there has to be, and now I'll pray,I'll pray that He will forgive that I have neglected Him all of these years, forgive that I've betrayed,lied and sinned with impunity only to turn to Him now in my hour of need,I pray that He is as merciful,benevolent and gracious as His book says He is.
