Separation and Breakup

A divorce is like an amputation; you survive, but there’s less of you.

When we two parted

I'm an excellent housekeeper. Every time I get a divorce, I keep the house.

Good-night, good-night! parting is such sweet sorrow.

 

Decidedly one of us will have to go.

I have more care to stay than will to go.

 

Fare thee well! and if forever, Still forever, fare thee well.

There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship—only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses.

So, so, break off this last lamenting kiss, Which sucks two souls, and vapors both away.

Paying alimony is like feeding hay to a dead horse.

The happiest time in any man's life is just after the first divorce.

In every parting there is an image of death.

I cannot help but notice that there is no problem between us that cannot be solved by your departure.

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.

Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow.

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever;

As many farewells as be stars in heaven.

He turn’d him right and round about Upon the Irish shore; And gae his bridle reins a shake, With adieu forevermore, And adieu forevermore!

Hollywood brides keep the bouquets and throw away the grooms.

In the dissolution of sentimental partnerships it is seldom that both associates are able to withdraw their funds at the same time.
