A society's apprehensiveness about divorce is an expression of its fear of change and of its resulting desire that personality remain unvarying.

ELSIE CLEW PARSONS

---

Grown-ups are worried that they're going to ruin their children's lives, but divorce is just a life experience and you learn from it.

EVAN STERN

---

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.

SIA F. DEAN

---

Divorce is like cutting off a gangrened arm to save the rest of the body.

DAVID KNOX & CAROLINE SCHACHT

---

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.

TOVA MIRVIS

---

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

I harbor ill feelings toward a society, and a clergy, that allows marriage partners to split over the smallest incompatibility, where divorce comes in a multitude of flavors, like Baskin Robbins ice cream, where men and women can blame one another and everything except themselves for matrimony's mess. They look for externals over which they have no control and, fingering them, take no responsibility.

ROBERT DYKSTRA

---

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.

RICHARD D. CROOKS

---

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.

EDWARD HOAGLAND

---

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

WENDY LIEBMAN

---

You thought your little romance
Was on the strict Q.T.
So if you want your freedom P.D.Q.
Divorce me C.O.D.

MERLE TRAVIS

---

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.
