Divorce Rate

Famous quotes containing the words divorce and/or rate:

    Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply; and it must be by a long and unnatural estrangement, by a divorce which no subsequent connection can justify, if such precious remains of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlived.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    We honor motherhood with glowing sentimentality, but we don’t rate it high on the scale of creative occupations.
