Elizabeth Bibesco Quotes

It's so hard saying goodbye... it's hard saying good bye to all the things that one has held dear for weeks, months, sometimes years.

This is a long goodbye, yet not time enough. I have no aptitude for this. I cannot learn this. I would hold on, and hold on, until my hands clutch at emptiness.

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

I’ve lost so many people. Some I left on purpose and never looked back. Some were taken from me, and I never said good-bye.

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

Farewell's a bitter word to say.

Parting with friends is a sadness. A place is only a place.

[H]e lay awake, dreading the dawn when he would have to say good-bye to the small universe he had built for himself over the years.

Goodbyes are sad, no matter what the promise of tomorrow is.

To be left behind... or to leave behind. I wonder which hurts more.

There is only one word of tenderness we could say, which we have not said oftentimes before ; and there is no consolation in it. The happy never say, and never hear said, farewell.

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.

Something that required the best of you has ended. You will miss it.

Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell.

Go, forget me - why should sorrow, O'er that brow a shadow fling? Go, forget me - and tomorrow, brightly smile and sweetly sing. Smile - though I shall not be near thee; Sing - though I shall never hear thee.

Nothing is so dear as what you're about to leave.

I can speak for everybody in saying we've all been through a breakup to where you didn't want it to be over.

Saying goodbye is very emotional.

Saying goodbye to the people you love isn't easy

There's never a right time to say goodbye.

So sweetly she bade me adieu, I thought that she bade me return.

Yes, I will go. I would rather grieve over your absence than over you.

Every farewell combines loss and new freedom.

I shouldn't care what you suffered. I care nothing for your sufferings. Why shouldn't you suffer? I do! Will you forget me? Will you be happy when I am in the earth? Will you say twenty years hence, "That's the grave of Catherine Earnshaw? I loved her long ago, and was wretched to lose her; but it is past. I've loved many others since: my children are dearer to me than she was; and, at death, I shall not rejoice that I am going to her: I shall be sorry that I must leave them!" Will you say so, Heathcliff?
