All farewells should be sudden, when forever.
Lord Byron
Never say goodbye, say farewell.
Unknown
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Farewell, false love, I took you for The woman that I lost last year Forever as I think: I loved her but I will not see Her any more in Germany. O Milky Way, sister in whiteness To Canaan's rivers and the bright Bodies of lovers drowned, Can we follow toilsomely Your path to other nebulae?
Guillaume Apollinaire
Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
Richard Bach
Soon we will plunge into the cold darkness; Farewell, vivid brightness of our too-short summers!
Charles Baudelaire
I'm bidding you a long farewell, My Mary, kind and true, But I'll not forget you, darling, In the land I'm going to. They say there's bread and work for all, And the sun shines always there; But I'll not forget old Ireland, Were it fifty times as fair.
Helen Blackwood, Baroness Dufferin and Claneboye
