Quote by Edward Hoagland

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.

Summary

This quote suggests that some divorces occur not due to irreparable damage in the relationship, but rather because one or both individuals long to break free from their current circumstances and create a new life for themselves.

The quote highlights the human desire for a fresh beginning and the resilience found in the process of rebuilding.
