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.

Marriage is grand. Divorce is about twenty grand.
JAY LENO

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.

The Giant Book of Children's Sermons
I try not to think of divorce as failing at marriage but rather winning at bitterness and resentment.

If divorce has increased by one thousand percent, don't blame the women's movement. Blame the obsolete sex roles on which our marriages were based.
BETTY FRIEDAN
speech, Jan. 20, 1974
Divorce lawyers stoke anger and fear in their clients, knowing that as long as the conflicts remain unresolved the revenue stream will keep flowing.
CRAIG FERGUSON
American on Purpose
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.

Many a woman would get a divorce if she could do it without making her husband happy.

Ah, yes, divorce, from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet.
ROBIN WILLIAMS
The Telegraph, August 12, 2014
