“It's always darkest before it turns absolutely pitch black.”
“It's always darkest before it becomes totally black.”
“It's always darkest just before everything goes completely black”
“It always looks darkest just before it gets totally black.”
“It's always darkest before the ultimate sparkle.”
“There are a lot of truths in this world. When it rains it pours. It's always darkest before the dawn. He who smelt it dealt it.”
