The Hours is a dark depiction of desperation and depression. Three women in different times and places each struggle against the internal or external expectations that get in the way of their happiness.

Cloudless days are fine, but remember: some pottery gets pretty fragile sitting in the sun day after day after day.
--CHARLES R. SWINDOLL (1934– )

Darkness is more productive of sublime ideas than light.
--EDMUND BURKE (1729–1797)

Give no place to despondency. God’s designs regarding you, and his methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.
MADAME JEANNE MARIE DE LA MOTHE GUYON (1648–1717)

God sends nothing but what can be borne.
--ITALIAN PROVERB

There is a melancholy that stems from greatness of mind.
--SÉBASTIEN ROCH NICOLAS CHAMFORT (1741–1794)

The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.
--EARL RINEY

Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul?
Why are you crying the blues?
Fix my eyes on God—
soon I'll be praising again.
He puts a smile on my face.
He's my God.

When my soul is in the dumps, I rehearse
everything I know of you,
From Jordan depths to Hermon heights,
including Mount Mizar.
--Psalm 42:5-6 Message Translation

Don't fret or worry.
Instead of worrying, pray.
Let petitions and praises
shape your worries into prayers,
letting God know your concerns.
--Philip. 4:6 Message Translation
