Free Vintage Clipart for Collage, Scrapbooking or Papercrafts: Saying Good-bye, 1881

It's important in life to conclude things properly. Only then can you let go. Otherwise you are left with words you should have said but never did, and your heart is heavy with remorse. That bungled goodbye hurts me to this day.
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

They couldn't tell when one of them left if they would be gone for an hour, a hundred years, or forever. It made every parting somber, but they became honest for it. They meant every goodbye in a way they couldn't in life.
Thomm Quackenbush, The Lifecycle of Suns
