Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.
~ Helen Rowland

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

People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.
~ John Cheever

The only solid and lasting peace between a man and his wife is, doubtless, a separation.
~ Lord Chesterfield

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.
~ Denis Diderot

Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.
~ Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn't a sign that they ''don't understand'' one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to.
~ Helen Rowland

You can't stay married in a situation where you are afraid to go to sleep in case your wife might cut your throat.
~ Mike Tyson

You know, that's the only good thing about divorce; you get to sleep with your mother.
~ Clare Boothe Luce

You never really know a man until you have divorced him.
~ Zsa Zsa Gabor
