A divorce is like an amputation; you survive, but there’s less of you.
MARGARET ATWOOD, Time Magazine, Mar. 19, 1973

The happiest time of anyone's life is just after the first divorce.
For a couple with young children, divorce seldom comes as a “solution” to stress, only as a way to end one form of pain and accept another.

If divorce has increased by one thousand percent, don't blame the women's movement. Blame the obsolete sex roles on which our marriages were based.
BETTY FRIEDAN, speech, Jan. 20, 1974
I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.
SUSAN B. ANTHONY, The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony
The possibility of divorce renders both marriage partners stricter in their observance of the duties they owe to each other. Divorces help to improve morals and to increase the population.
