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

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

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
Divorce is a declaration of independence with only
two signers.
