quotations about divorce
Divorce is a failed challenge, which leads to a broken life. It is a socially transmittable disease that can transfer from one generation to another, and it is spreading fast.

Divorce Is Not an Answer
Marriage is probably the chief cause of divorce.

A divorce is like taking away one of the two hands. The motor in the clock still runs. The one hand keeps turning, but the time is gone.
WESLEY T. RUNK
The Giant Book of Children's Sermons
Divorce is always good news. I know that sounds weird, but it's true because no good marriage has ever ended in divorce. That would be sad. If two people were married and ... they just had a great thing and then they got divorced, that would be really sad. But that has happened zero times.
LOUIS C.K.
"The Annotated Wisdom of Louis C.K.", Splitsider
Many divorces are not really the result of irreparable injury but involve, instead, a desire on the part of the man or woman to shatter the setup, start out from scratch alone, and make life work for them all over again. They want the risk of disaster, want to touch bottom, see where bottom is, and, coming up, to breathe the air with relief and relish again.

My mother always said, "Don't marry for money, divorce for money."

The springtime of divorce is like that, as well. Everything isn't rosy and put in place yet. Nor have all the shadows and snows of the dark winter days disappeared. But there are signs that things are changing: a new time of warmth is just ahead.

My divorce came to me as a complete surprise. That's what happens when you haven't been home in eighteen years.

I've been through divorce and will always be a "divorced kid".... For me, my parent's divorce was hard at first, but I overcame my sadness and my fears about it. I know that my parents are happier apart. And I'm happy with the way things are, too.... Divorce can sometimes be for the better. You may end up with happier parents, and you will definitely learn a lot about yourself! And that's the whole point of growing up. So if you think about it, there are reasons to be happy about this experience, if you can learn and grow from it.

Divorce Is Not the End of the World
Gone is the idea that you know where you are headed, that you know who your friends are, that you know who you are. To get divorced is to feel entirely lost on streets that you could once navigate with your eyes closed. The past feels cut off, across a divide, barely visible behind you.

Divorce is the key that opens the strongbox where the bonds of matrimony are kept under wedlock.

We've put it down, we've patched it up
We both have had our say
Divorce ain't black, divorce ain't white
Just a sad ole shade of gray.

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.

Observations on the Drawing Up of Laws
Losing a mate to death is devastating but it's not a personal attack like divorce. When somebody you love stops loving you and walks away, it's an insult beyond comparison.

Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.
