70 Dark Quotes About its Haunting Beauty That Let Hope Shine

Darkness — the lack of illumination — unveils life's complexity. On the one hand, it signifies sadness, fear, or death, and on the other, it could also convey the unknown blessing that has yet to come or a canvass for a shining light. From the shadows within to the challenges we face, from psychologists to artists, explore our collection of dark quotes that capture the duality of this natural phenomenon.

Darkness results from the absence of light, but such absence takes its own form. Dark and light always coexist in the natural world through to our psychological experiences. For instance, the timing of any form of light and total darkness dictates our circadian rhythm, even the animals. Yin and Yang, a Chinese philosophical concept, represents two opposite yet connected positive and negative forces. 

To start this section, American poet and activist Maya Angelou (on Amazon) describes these basic phenomena and concepts as two sides of the same coin.

Let's deepen our reflection on both through the dark quotes below or head to our light quotes for more insights from the other side of the spectrum, away from our darkest moment.

Dark Quotes About Life And The Shadows

Life encompasses moments of joy, heartache, and everything in between. As we navigate these experiences, we often encounter dark thoughts and emotions that can cast a shadow over our lives. Facing challenges, witnessing our shadows grow, and questioning our values are both enlightening and terrifying as it forces us to confront our true selves.

Carl Jung refers to our dark sides as our shadow selves, but whatever we call this part of our personalities, we must never forget that it is just that — parts. Through mindfulness, compassion, and forgiveness, we can learn to accept who we are and make necessary changes without persecuting ourselves.

Embrace your shadows within as you read the following dark quotes about life.

Quotes About Dark Times And Overcoming Adversity

The darkness of life reveals itself to us through adversities — dealing with failures, battling depression, and coping with someone's death. These dark times can be incredibly challenging, testing our resilience and pushing us to our limits. A study even proved how post-traumatic growth fosters resilience1, improving mental health and well-being.

As German Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche says, "That which does not kill us outright makes us stronger." Often in these dark moments, we discover our true strength and learn to appreciate the light that follows. 

To start this section of dark quotes, we have American minister and activist Martin Luther King Jr., who fought inequality through his "I Have a Dream" speech and other nonviolent tactics and eventually paved the way for the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

Whatever you're facing in life, emerge from it with the help of the dark quotes below.

We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows.

~ E.M. Forster

The darkness declares the glory of light.

Deep Dark Quotes From Psychologists And Philosophers

The human psyche is complex and fascinating, resulting in psychologists and philosophers developing numerous theories to explain our thinking and way of being. To expound on Carl Jung's shadows, as mentioned above, is one of four archetypes derived from the collective unconscious.

Like Freud's id, Jung describes the shadow as "the thing a person has no wish to be.2" The other archetypes are persona, the face we show to the world; anima/animus, the unconscious side of our opposite sex; and self, the union of the conscious and unconscious psyche.

Psychologists and philosophers have long been developing theories about how our minds work. However, this does not even scratch the surface. So after reading the deep dark quotes below, explore their ideas and form your own insights.
