"You think dark is just one color, but it ain't. There're five or six kinds of black. Some silky, some wooly. Some just empty. Some like fingers. And it don't stay still. It moves and changes from one kind of black to another. Saying something is pitch black is like saying something is green... Well, night black is the same way. May as well be a rainbow." — Mar 03, 2026 06:08PM
