It is seen that both matter and radiation possess a remarkable duality of character, as they sometimes exhibit the properties of waves, at other times those of particles. Now, it is obvious that a thing cannot be a form of wave motion and composed of particles at the same time - the two concepts are too different.

When I was eight, I would look at the cover of the 'Ghost Rider' comic book in my little home in Long Beach, California, and I couldn't get my head around how something that scary could also be good. To me it was my first philosophical awakening - 'How is this possible, this duality?

I always revisit duality because I think it's a conflict we all have. I think we all leave our house and go to work, and we put on the cape and become superheroes. That's what we do. It's how we move through life and handle negativity: you do everything you can to stay away from it.

Wislawa Szymborska

Each of us has a very rich nature and can look at things objectively, from a distance, and at the same time can have something more personal to say about them. I am trying to look at the world, and at myself, from many different points of view. I think many poets have this duality.

Polish Poet

Patty Jenkins

I love that duality of Wonder Woman: that she both wants peace and means peace, but when push comes to shove and someone needs to be put down like a dog, that's what she would be willing to do.

American Director

Bill Skarsgard

A character on screen that's the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy,' they're never interesting. There's got to be an internal struggle, the duality is important to find.

Swedish Actor

Kevin Spacey

Audiences grew to like this duality of feeling, where you're both championing a character and you're revolted by them.

American Actor

Juliette Lewis

There' s a duality in myself, and it's also what I try and instill in my roles.

American Actress

Carlos Santana

Just as we have two eyes and two feet, duality is part of life.

Mexican Musician

Understand when to use 'duality' based on context, focusing on aspects like contrast or complementarity between parts.

Context Matters

Use 'duality' when discussing concepts that aren't physical but represent two opposing ideas or themes.

Abstract Concepts

'Duality' in math usually involves complex concepts; use it carefully and within the subject only.

Technical Term

In maths, 'duality' can imply that two problems may look different but have the same solution.

Understanding Equivalence

'Duality' in physics often involves understanding how one thing can have two natures, like light.

Scientific Phenomena

'Duality' might be used across disciplines, like in both physics and metaphysical discussions.

Interdisciplinary Usage

'Duality' in philosophy often deals with how opposing forces are interconnected.

Philosophical Balance

When discussing 'duality', consider the philosophical implications beyond good vs. evil.
