“This is my depressed stance. When you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. If you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this.”

“Sometimes, when you're really depressed, all you want to do is nothing. All you want to do is lean your head on your arm, and stare into space. Sometimes this can go on for hours. If you're unusually depressed, you may have to change arms.”

“I have deep feelings of depression... What can I do about this?''Snap out of it! Five cents, please.”

“I feel kind of depressed today... Do you ever have the feeling that life has passed you by?Worse than that... Sometimes I think life and I are going in opposite directions!”

“Sometimes I wonder how you can stand being just a dog...""You play with the cards you're dealt... Whatever that means.”

“I'm depressed! I'm completely depressed! I am firmly convinced that there is no one in this world who really likes me!""So what else is new?”

“I've come to you because I need professional help... I get depressed when I realize how other girls hate me, and yet I know it's only jealousy... It's plain jealousy! They only hate me because I have naturally curly hair... They're jealous of me... What should I do?""Don't kid yourself, sister... Five cents, please!”
