Friedrich and Helen divorced in July 1950 and he married Helene Bitterlich just a few weeks later, moving to Arkansas in order to take advantage of permissive divorce laws.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    ... religion can only change when the emotions which fill it are changed; and the religion of personal fear remains nearly at the level of the savage.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    All that a pacifist can undertake—but it is a very great deal—is to refuse to kill, injure or otherwise cause suffering to another human creature, and untiringly to order his life by the rule of love though others may be captured by hate.
    Vera Brittain (1896–1970)
