'I wasted my 20s and my 30s, and most of my 40s, being depressed. And then I realized that the only reason depression happens is because of hope. When you're young, there's all this pressure to get a great job, get married, have kids, buy a house, and you worry that you're not making it happen fast enough, and maybe you never will. And then one day you wake up and say, "Huh... I guess none of that happened." All you have to do is outlast your depression.'

• Jim Jefferies, paraphrased
