[I]n the words of Chairman Mao, 'It's darkest before it's totally black.'
--
In response to a reporter's question, "Which is more likely: making progress in Iraq or you winning the nomination?" (July 2007)John McCain
It's always darkest before it's totally black.
Mao Zedong
Just when things look darkest, they go black.
Paul Newman
In this allegory the seeker, trying to reach the One, is drawn by two horses, one white and noble and temperate, and the other surly, stubborn, passionate and black. The one is forever aiding him in his upward journey to the portals of heaven, the other is forever confounding him. The Chairman has not stated it yet, but he is at the point at which he must now announce that the white horse is temperate reason, the black horse is dark passion, emotion. He is at the point at which these must be described, but the false note suddenly becomes a chorus.
Robert M. Pirsig
One thing that comes out in myths is that at the bottom of the abyss comes the voice of salvation. The black moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come. At the darkest moment comes the light.
Joseph Campbell
