QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON DIVORCE
Divorce. A resumption of diplomatic relations and rectification of boundaries.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914, American author, editor, journalist, "The Devil's Dictionary")
I know one husband and wife who, whatever the official reasons given to the court for the break up of their marriage, were really divorced because the husband believed that nobody ought to read while he was talking and the wife that nobody ought to talk while she was reading.
Vera Brittain (1893-1970, British writer)

Vera Brittain (1893-1970, British writer)
Divorce is the one human tragedy that reduces everything to cash.
Rita Mae Brown (1944-, American writer)
Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873, British novelist, poet)
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 (1912-1982, American author)
The only solid and lasting peace between a man and his wife is, doubtless, a separation.
Philip Dormer Stanhope Chesterfield (1694-1773, British statesman, author)
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 (1713-1784, French philosopher)
Conrad Hilton was very generous to me in the divorce settlement. He gave me 5, 000 Gideon Bibles.
Zsa Zsa Gabor (1918-, Hungarian-born American actress)
Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.
Zsa Zsa Gabor (1918-, Hungarian-born American actress)
I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.
Zsa Zsa Gabor (1918-, Hungarian-born American actress)
You never really know a man until you have divorced him.
Zsa Zsa Gabor (1918-, Hungarian-born American actress)
Divorce is a game played by lawyers.
Cary Grant (1904-1986, British-born American actor)
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 (1932-, American novelist, essayist)
Every divorce is the result of selfishness on the part of one or the other or both parties to a marriage contract. Someone is thinking of self comforts, conveniences, freedoms, luxuries, or ease. Sometimes the ceaseless pin pricking of an unhappy, discontented, and selfish spouse can finally add up to serious physical violence. Sometimes people are goaded to the point where they erringly feel justified in doing the things that are so wrong. Nothing of course justifies sin.
Spencer W. Kimball
Being divorced is like being hit by a Mack truck. If you live through it, you start looking very carefully to the right and to the left.
Jean Kerr (1923-, American author, playwright)
Divorce is a declaration of independence with only two signers.
Gerald F. Lieberman (American writer)
You know, that's the only good thing about divorce; you get to sleep with your mother.
Clare Boothe Luce (1903-1987, American diplomat, writer)
A Roman divorced from his wife, being highly blamed by his friends, who demanded, "Was she not chaste? Was she not fair? Was she not fruitful?" holding out his shoe, asked them whether it was not new and well made. "Yet," added he, "none of you can tell where it pinches me.
Plutarch (46-120, Greek essayist, biographer)
Divorce is the sacrament of adultery.
French Proverb (Sayings of French origin)
A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I'm about $100, 000 short.
Mickey Rooney (1920-, American actor)
France may claim the happiest marriages in the world, but the happiest divorces in the world are "made in America."
Helen Rowland (1875-1950, American journalist)
Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.
Helen Rowland (1875-1950, American journalist)
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 (1875-1950, American journalist)
It takes two to destroy a marriage.
Margaret Trudeau (1948-, Wife of former Canadian Prime Minister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau)
Like I said, I've got too much respect for women to marry them, but that doesn't mean you can't support them emotionally and financially.
Sylvester Stallone (1946-, American actor, writer, director, producer)
My divorce came to me as a complete surprise. That's what happens when you haven't been home in eighteen years.
Lee Trevino (1939-, American golfer)
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 (1966-, American boxer)
If you think you have trouble supporting a wife, try not supporting her.

Divorce is probably of nearly the same date as marriage. I believe, however, that marriage is some weeks the more ancient.

It is he who has broken the bond of marriage -- not I. I only break its bondage.
