Frequently Asked Questions

Do these quotes use "dark" to mean something bad?
Not always in the way you'd expect - one quote actually pushes back on that idea, saying, "I hate using the word ‘dark' for things that are negative." It's a nice reminder that the word doesn't always carry a negative meaning.
Is there a quote about a difficult personal period?
Yes - one quote reflects on a rough chapter, saying, "It was a dark time for me," referring to a period that clashed with the speaker's beliefs and personality. For more reflections on tough periods, see our Dark Time collection.
How do these quotes connect darkness and humor?
One quote makes an interesting connection, noting that "some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it" - suggesting comedy can be a way of coping with heavy topics.
Is there a quote describing a challenging creative or intellectual process?
Yes, one quote compares the process of proving something to going "into a dark tunnel," before coming out somewhere new - a nice metaphor for working through uncertainty. For more on that idea, browse our Dark Places collection.
