I guess, Like George W. Bush, you do not do nuance. How about irony and metaphor?That quote doesn't make sense. How can you get total blackness, when it is the darkest before total blackness? The quote seems to say that totally black is not as dark as the darkest. So totally black is actually the beginning of light. No matter how dark it is, there is light at the end of the tunnel. That's the only way to make any sense of that quote.
