Just to clarify things a little:
(1) David Myers says that he finds the quote on books.google.com
on page 96. He is correct in that the quote is on page 96 of a book
titled "Psychological Research" but it is not by Benton Underwood,
it is by someone named M. Asch who seemed to have plagiarized
the book. I'm not sure if it is the whole book but I wouldn't be
surprised.
(2) John Cacioppo used the same quote in a 2004 paper in PSPR
and identifies it as page 87 in Underwood's book.
(3) A search of books.google.com using "one day of depression"
turns up Underwood's "Psychological Research" but it is available
only in snippet view. However, the quote is on page 87. If one
searches for "The rejection of my own manuscripts", one does not
get Underwood as a hit. I don't know why but a square right bracket
begins the statement (i.e., "[") and maybe this screws things up.
So, one might want to double-check the source to confirm accuracy.

Many thanks to Dave Myers for uncovering the quotation...many thanks, Dave!
This email interaction bears out two things: (1) Dave Myers is always a
helpful
colleague and (2) my memory is even worse than I thought it was.
Thanks again for the gracious help (and thanks also to Miguel for the piece
on
rejected manuscripts...). All the best....Scott

Greetings, Scott. I've used this quote (which I do see is on p. 96 via a
Google book search):
"The rejection of my own manuscripts has a sordid aftermath:
(a) one day of depression; (b) one day of utter contempt for the
editor and his accomplices; (c) one day of decrying the conspiracy
against letting Truth be published; (d) one day of fretful ideas
about changing my profession; (e) one day of re-evaluating the
manuscript in view of the editor's comments followed by the
conclusion that I was lucky it wasn't accepted!"
Benton Underwood, Psychological Research, 1957
