If you are cold, tea will warm you;
If you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you.
?Gladstone
The best cure for worry, depression,
melancholy, brooding, is to go
deliberately forth and try to lift with one's
sympathy the gloom of somebody else.
?Arnold Bennett
Remember that there is nothing stable in
human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation
in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.
?Socrates
Such a little man could not have
made so big a depression.
?Hubert Hoover
Depression moods lead, almost invariably,
to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood
changes again, since the accident shows
we can draw the world in our wake, and that
we still retain some degree of power even
when our spirits are low. A series of accidents
creates a positively light-hearted state,
out of consideration for this strange power.
?Jean Baudrillard
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.
?Charlie Brown
The term clinical depression finds its
way into too many conversations
these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe
has occurred in the psychic landscape.
?Leonard Cohen
