Alimony - the ransom that the happy pay to the devil.
H. L. Mencken

Alimony is a system by which, when two people make a mistake, one of them continues to pay for it.
Peggy Hopkins Joyce
Image
Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse.
Groucho Marx
Image
Alimony is the curse of the writing class.
Norman Mailer
Image
The novel is final form it's the ultimate individual final form. Television and motion pictures never get there. You'd be fabulous to think that something you write is even going to be filmed. I give it the best shot of which I'm capable. But it's more a payday for me. And if I didn't have alimony and the full-time assistant.
James Ellroy

In time truth and science and nature will adapt themselves to art. Things will happen logically, and the villain be discomfited instead of being elected to the board of directors. But in the meantime fiction must not only be divorced from fact, but must pay alimony and be awarded custody of the press despatches.
O. Henry

Zsa Zsa Gabor, the only woman ever to apply for group alimony. Never got a dinner!
Red Buttons

Divorce is expensive. I used to joke they were going to call it 'all the money,' but they changed it to 'alimony.' It's ripping your heart out through your wallet.
Robin Williams

The wages of sin is alimony.

Sometimes they would just pay me to stay home and not do anything else, which sounds fantastic but doesn't do much for your ego. Its probably a little like getting alimony - the money is nice but has a nasty aftertaste.
Craig Ferguson

Also, I am driven by a wonderful muse called alimony.
Dick Schaap

If income tax is the price you have to pay to keep the government on its feet, alimony is the price we have to pay for sweeping a woman off hers.
Groucho Marx

L.A. ispolluted. It's overpopulated. But it is very much home. It was inevitable for me, the moving back. I was living in San Francisco, and Joan broke it off with me, and I needed a place to live. I'd been divorced. And I needed to write movies and TV shows to earn a living. Alimony. All that. So I figured what the hell, I'll go back to L.A.
James Ellroy

Judges, as a class, display, in the matter of arranging alimony, that reckless generosity which is found only in men who are giving away someone else's cash.
P. G. Wodehouse
Image
Even hooligans marry, though they know that marriage is for a little while. It is alimony that is for ever.
Quentin Crisp
Image
King Henry VIII, who said to his lawyer, Forget the alimony, I've got a better idea. Never got a dinner!
Red Buttons
Image
Whereas a man is entitled to marry three more times and that fosters great abuse, even scholars accept that. So certainly since the 1980s Shari'a courts have been established and they allow for women to go to them and they basically grant them annulment. It's not a civil divorce, they don't have the right to grant alimony or maintenance or custody.
Sadakat Kadri

I'm paying the third highest alimony and child support in the world. And the only two ahead of me are sheiks.
Burt Reynolds

If a woman is really injured by her marriage, she should sue under the employer liability act. She should claim damages--not alimony.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Image
In some instances, alimony has become akin to a social-welfare program provided by working women to their ex-husbands.
Diane Garnick

People go to restaurants for so many different reasons. To court a girl, to make some deal. Maybe to talk to some lawyer about how to get an alimony settlement better than they got last week.
Gay Talese
