I am a divorced child, of divided, uncertain background. Within this division I-supposed fruit of their love-no longer exist. It happened nearly forty years ago, yet to me, nothing is sadder than my parents’ divorce. – Sylvia Kristel
But in the real world, you couldn’t really just split a family down the middle, mom on one side, dad the other, with the child equally divided between. It was like when you ripped a piece of paper into two: no matter how you tried, the seams never fit exactly right again. It was what you couldn’t see, those tiniest of pieces, that were lost in the severing, and their absence kept everything from being complete. – Sarah Dessen
Instead of getting married again, I’m going to find a woman I don’t like and just give her a house. – Lewis Grizzard
No, I’m not divorced but my parents are. They got divorced when I was seven years old. I wanna tell you that its hard. My parents dislike each other very much and its hard for me to grow up knowing that I am not completely full. But I wanna tell you something else. Be happy that they are divorced cause if they did it then they probably weren’t right for each other. Had they continued hiding the pain the emotions would fly out causing even more pain. So be grateful for what you do have.
The only solid and lasting peace between a man and his wife is, doubtless, a separation. – Lord Chesterfield
When mom and dad went to war the only prisoners they took were the children. – Pat Conroy
For some reason, we see divorce as a signal of failure, despite the fact that each of us has a right, and an obligation, to rectify any other mistake we make in life. – Joyce Brothers

I had a really good childhood up until I was nine, then a classic case of divorce really affected me. – Kurt Cobain
She is afraid of divorce, which will free her, as she was not enough afraid of marriage, which trapped her. – A. S. Byatt
The power of divorce can be given only to those who feel the inconveniences of marriage, and who are sensible of the moment when it is for their interest to make them cease.
An open marriage is nature’s way of telling you that you need a divorce. – Ann Landers
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.
Divorce isn’t such a tragedy. A tragedy’s staying in an unhappy marriage, teaching your children the wrong things about love. Nobody ever died of divorce. – Jennifer Weiner
Divorce is a fire exit. When a house is burning, it doesn’t matter who set the fire. If there is no fire exit, everyone in the house will be burned! – Mehmet Murat ildan
In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find and continue to find grounds for marriage.
Divorce isn’t just the person, it’s everything that goes with it – your kids, the adjustment, everything. – Peter Andre
The remedy for most marital stress is not in divorce. It is in repentance and forgiveness, in sincere expressions of charity and service. It is not in separation. It is in simple integrity that leads a man and a woman to square up their shoulders and meet their obligations. It is found in the Golden Rule, a time-honored principle that should first and foremost find expression in marriage. – Gordon B. Hinckley
Divorce, n: A bugle blast that separates the combatants and makes them fight at long range. – Ambrose Bierce
Marriage problems are relationship problems, they are the result of how two people interact with each other. You may abandon a troubled marriage, but you will still bring the way you interact with others along with you.
