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 Not the End of the World
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.

ANONYMOUS
In our family we don't divorce our men -- we bury them.
RUTH GORDON
Lord Love a Duck
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.

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

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

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.

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.
BILL ANDERSON
"Sad Old Shade of Gray"
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.
