| "Laughter, while it lasts, slackens and unbraces the mind, weakens
the faculties and causes a kind of remissness and dissolution in all the
powers of the soul; and thus it may be looked on as weakness in the
composition of human nature. But if we consider the frequent reliefs we
receive from it and how often it breaks the gloom which is apt to depress
the mind and damp our spirits, with transient, unexpected gleams of joy,
one would take care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of
life." | |

| "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 oujt of being depressed, you?ve got to stand
like this." | |

Charles M. Schulz

| "When we are angry or depressed in our creativity, we have misplaced
our power. We have allowed someone else to determine our worth, and then
we are angry at being undervalued." | |
