Farewells can be both beautiful and despicable. Saying farewell to one who is loved is very complicated.

My best! my last friends!
Let's not unman each other: part at once:
All farewells should be sudden, when for ever,
Else they make an eternity of moments,
And clog the last sad sands of life with tears.
Hence, and be happy: trust me, I am not
Now to be pitied; or far more for what
Is past than present; — for the future, 'tis
In the hands of the deities, if such
There be: I shall know soon. Farewell — Farewell.Lord Byron
The person who is certain, and who claims divine warrant for his certainty, belongs now to the infancy of our species. It may be a long farewell, but it has begun and, like all farewells, should not be protracted.
Christopher Hitchens
I only know we loved in vain;
I only feel — farewell! farewell!Lord Byron
It is no longer possible to escape men. Farewell to the monsters, farewell to the saints. Farewell to pride. All that is left is men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Everlasting farewells! and again, and yet again reverberated—everlasting farewells!
Thomas De Quincey
