Take $R/\mathfrak{p}$, where $\mathfrak{p}$ is a minimal prime ideal of $R$.

$\begingroup$ In this case R/p has dimension 1, but why it has depth 1? R is not necessarily CM, so R can have depth 0. $\endgroup$– AndreiCommented Jan 31, 2012 at 9:37

4$\begingroup$ $R/p$ is a domain, so has depth 1, both as a ring itself and as a module over the original ring. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 31, 2012 at 11:43
