Alice Sebold Quotes

To the guests that must go, bid God's speed and brush away all traces of their steps.

I will be the one to leave you.

There's no greater power than the power of good-bye.

I guess that's what saying good-bye is always like--like jumping off an edge. The worst part is making the choice to do it. Once you're in the air, there's nothing you can do but let go.

Here lies my past, Goodbye I have kissed it; Thank you kids, I wouldn't have missed it.

I told Terry I was leaving. She had been thinking about it all night and was resigned to it. Emotionlessly she kissed me in the vineyard and walked off down the row. We turned at a dozen paces, for love is a duel, and looked at each other for the last time.

The time was fast approaching when Earth, like all mothers, must say farewell to her children.

Goodbyes are on of the hardest things about life. One way or another people were always leaving... Always moving on.

I don't love you anymore. Goodbye.

In that last dance of chances I shall partner you no more. I shall watch another turn you As you move across the floor. In that last dance of chances When I bid your life goodbye I will hope she treats you kindly. I will hope you learn to fly. In that last dance of chances When I know you'll not be mine I will let you go with longing And the hope that you'll be fine. In that last dance of chances We shall know each other's minds. We shall part with our regrets When the tie no longer binds.

Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.

Saying goodbye to the people you love isn't easy

Saying goodbye to Nina is both bittersweet and beautiful. After six-plus years together, the entire cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries has reached a level of closeness that I don't think any of us ever expected. Nina is excited to spread her wings, get some rest, travel the world and also take it by storm, and we support her a thousand-fold. We will miss Nina and the four hundred characters she played, but we look forward to the insane and exciting challenge of continuing to tell stories of our Salvatore Brothers and our much-loved and gifted ensemble.

There is someone I must say goodbye to. Oh, not you - we are sure to see each other again - but the Lily Bart you knew.

I shall like to think that she has stayed with you.

There's a kind of release And a kind of torment in every goodbye for every man.

Every farewell combines loss and new freedom.

We all have to find our own ways to say good-bye.

Goodbye, my love, my life. Goodbye, goodbye.
