Quotes 

• Daria : Don't worry. I don't have low self-esteem. It's a mistake.

  Jake : I'll say.

  Daria : I have low esteem for everyone else.

• Mrs. Manson : Now, Dara, let's see if you can make up a story as vivid as your sister's.

  Daria : It's DARIA.

  Mrs. Manson : I'm sorry... DARIA. What do you see in the picture, Dara?

  Daria : Um... a herd of beautiful wild ponies running free across the plains.

  Mrs. Manson : Uh, there aren't any ponies. It's two people.

  Daria : Last time I took one of these tests, they told me they were clouds. They said they could be whatever I wanted.

  Mrs. Manson : That's a different test, dear. In this test, they're people, and you tell me what they're discussing.

  Daria : Oh... I see. All right, then. It's a guy and a girl and they're discussing... a herd of beautiful wild ponies running free across the plains.

  [Mrs. Manson scowls, while Daria smirks] 

• Helen : But what does your self-esteem teacher say?

  Daria : He says I should think back to circumstances that brought me happiness as a child and replicate them... but I suppose Quinn's here to stay.

• Quinn : Nobody told me about any test!

  Daria : Don't worry; It's a psychological test. You're automatically exempt.

  Quinn : Oh, alright.

• Daria : So what do they talk to the guys about?

  Jane : Room full of guys and a male teacher.

  Daria , Jane : Nocturnal emission.

• Helen : Daria, your father's trying to tell you not to judge people until you know them. You're in a brand-new school in a brand-new town. You don't want it to be Highland all over again.

  Daria : Not much chance of that happening... unless there's uranium in the drinking water here, too.

• Mr. Anthony DeMartino : Perhaps you feel it's *unfair* to be asked a question on your first day of class.

  Daria : [scowling]  Excuse me?
