Quote

Alimony is like buying oats for a dead horse.

Nobody sounds good writing about your divorce, let's face it.

In some instances, alimony has become akin to a social-welfare program provided by working women to their ex-husbands.

You never realize how short a month is until you pay alimony.

The foolish and cruel notion that a wife is to obey her husband has sent more women to the grave than to the courts for a divorce.

Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract, and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences.

I think marriage is one of those things that writers draw on, one of those emotional reservoirs that go way back.

Writers don't make good spouses. When I am writing, I'm not a good wife. I shut myself away, and all my emotions are directed towards what I'm trying to write.

It's great being married to a writer. You live with someone who can read your work and help you.

Writing is the most important thing in my life - above marriage.
