“I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.”
― The Perks of Being a Wallflower
― The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“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.”
