Antithesis is one of the most common rhetorical devices and deliberately contrasts two opposing ideas in consecutive phrases or sentences. It produces balance and emphasis and both help make a point memorable.
I.e. it says 'not X... but Y' or 'X instead of y.'
For example:
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character" -- Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Americans want to see results instead of rhetoric . . . solutions instead of sound bites, and hard work instead of horse trading" - Alcee Hastings
