That bitter word, which closed all earthly friendships and finished every feast of love farewell!
Robert Pollok

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.
Gilda Radner

*Goodbye Quotes*

A chord, stronger or weaker, is snapped asunder in every parting, and time’s busy fingers are not practiced in re-splicing broken ties. Meet again you may; will it be in the same way? With the same sympathies? With the same sentiments? Will the souls, hurrying on in diverse paths, unite once more, as if the interval had been a dream? Rarely, rarely!
Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton

Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in this life.

When one door closes, another one opens, but we often look so long and regretfully at the closed door that we fail to see the one that has opened for us.
Alexander Graham Bell

Yes I love him. I love him more than anything else in this world and there is nothing that I would like better than to hold on to him forever. But I know it’s not for the best. So no matter how much my heart is going to break, I’ve got to let him go so he can know just how much I love him. Maybe if I’m lucky, he’ll come back, but if not, I can make it through this.
*Goodbye Quotes*
