The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part.

Just a few days back I watched "Se7en" for the second time. Besides being one of the coolest movies ever made ( I would say a near to perfect ), It ends with Somerset quoting Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls:

'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part.

Now, Question that stroked me was what did Somerset actually mean by saying. Did he mean that earth is not a good place or a fine place but still worth to live in. Or probably it could have meant its a place where you have to fight for your own survival. I myself find world a place which is designed with the balance of good and evil. So Its a place where you're whole life is in maintaining the balance between these two.

I dont know what writer had in mind by ending the movie with this quote but a simple sentence gave a different essence to the whole movie.
